Transforming Course Information Exchange: The XCRI Journey to Standardization

The XCRI initiative addresses the need for a standardized approach to exchanging course information in education, recognizing that the sector has lagged behind others in making learning opportunities accessible. Aiming for an "informed choice" national agenda, this initiative encourages collaboration among institutions to streamline data entry processes. By utilizing best practices and fostering dialogue with European partners, XCRI seeks to create a sustainable model for course information that enhances student recruitment, retention, and satisfaction while promoting transformative innovation.

  1. X-CRI ORIGINS

  2. XCRI | BACK TO 2005 . . . • Strong sense of “there must be a better way”… • National agenda of ‘informed choice’ about learning opportunities but • feeling that education lags behind other sectors in making its ‘products’ easy to discover and compare. • Standards exist for exchanging information about people, groups, membership and learning objects but • no standard way to exchange information about courses. • Institutions developing ways to populate their prospectus from definitive data but • resorting to primitive data entry to populate aggregator sites, regional portals, area prospectuses… • Genuine interest from the community in an open standard for exchanging course information that facilitates joined-up thinking

  3. XCRI@MMU | Yeah, but no, but yeah… • Step-change improvement: re-write entire UG curriculum! • XCRI-thinking: data collected once with requisite precision & structure for re-use • Data entry had to be simple using forms familiar to academics • 30 credits, max 5 LOs + 2 summative assessments • Constructive alignment & grad outcome tagging • … make “big ask” as small as possible!
