- 4. Why? • OLTF @DaveOwhite: • "Information about online programmes is lacking and often difficult to find, both for distance courses and for the online learning elements in blended programmes. This has a significant impact on student choice, domestically and internationally. Only with better information can prospective students find what they want, judge value for money and make more accurate decisions about where and how to study. Better information will give institutions competitive edge" Report to HEFCE by the Online Learning Task Force January 2011.
- 5. What? • Jan 2012 - March 2013 • Review internal course data handling processes and revise • create an xcri-cap1.2 feed • JISC Coursedata Programme: bit.ly/coursedata it’s like some kind of alien cube?

Editor's Notes
- The truth is out there.\nApologies to folk who saw these slides at DEV8eD,\nOur abstract says:\n"The truth is out there... but where?\nThe 2011 Online Learning Task Force report identified that online, distance, CPD and postgrad learning opportunities are difficult to find.\nThe JISC #coursedata programme is supporting 63 institutions to review and refine their course information handling processes. As an outward manifestation of this increased agility the projects will produce an xcri-cap feed for these course types.\nThe #coursedata-tech part of the programme has commissioned a validator and aggregator and will be creating some demonstration applications that use the data.\nThis session will briefly cover the programme, the tools and their possible uses.”\nIf this isn't the session you signed up for time to RUNAROUND\n

- David O White\n\nThe Online Learning Task Force (OLTF) published its final report 'Collaborate to compete: Seizing the opportunity of online learning for UK higher education' in January 2011.\n\nIt makes six recommendations to institutions and the wider HE sector. including:\n\nusing online learning to enhance student choice\ndeveloping and exploiting open educational resources.\n\n\n
- The JISC #coursedata programme..\nstage 1 ran from September- Dec 2011 -and provided small amount of funding to 93 institutions to undertake self review and develop a plan to revise internal systems and implement xcri-cap\nStage 2 runs from Jan 2012 - March 2013\nOutworking of the plans from stage 1, -Review internal course data handling processes and revise\ncreate an xcri-cap1.2 feed\nJISC Coursedata Programme: bit.ly/coursedata.\n
- STAGE 2\n63 institutions, \n16 FE (400 FTES)\nThe programme requires xcri-cap feed is produced for online, distance, CPD, some projects are doing ALL courses.\n

- \nThis is “xcri map”, not to be confused with xcri cap\nA brief history of XCRI-CAP\nXCRI came out of some discussions including Mark Stubbs at MMU, thinking there had to be a better way of describing and defining course data.\nThe original idea was XCRI.. sometimes called BIG XCRI..\n.. sometimes not referred to at all for fear of confusing folk..\nXCRI proved too complex and unwieldy to contain all the data\n\nso xcri-cap was born..\n\n\n\n

- xcri-cap-\nXCRI-CAP stands for "exchanging course related information course advertising profile", forged in the frontal lobes of some of the finest brains in Britain...

- Unless there is a compelling reasons not to, which is agreed with the JISC Programme manager, the XCRI-CAP feed should include an open licence outlining the permitted use of the file, it is suggested that the OGL is used.\n\nLicensing of XCRI-CAP feeds\n1It is a principle of XCRI-CAP feeds produced under the Course Data Programme that the data should be freely available to any aggregator or other user, organisation or individual to copy, re-distribute, share, adapt and exploit commercially or otherwise. This document recommends that all such feeds are explicitly licensed under an Open Government Licence (OGL). This licence grants to the user a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use the information, while providing for acknowledgement of the source of the information. This licence contains no warranty or liability on the provider, and importantly also includes specific non-endorsement clauses. The OGL licence is similar to a Creative Commons licence, but attribution is only needed if the copyright holder makes it a requirement. Where multiple providers are involved, an optional generic statement that 'public sector information' is included, rather than a specific attribution, can be used.\n2It is important that data publishers are familiar with the terms of the OGL for the avoidance of doubt about how the information may be used and the constraints placed on any user. The JISC sponsored document &#x201C;Licensing Open data: A Practical Guide&#x201D; June 2011 provides a sound overview of the licence landscape.\n3The following information about the licence attached to the data should be included in the description element of the catalog element:\nName of the licence, for example &#x2018;Open Government Licence (OGL)&#x2019;\nVersion number of the licence\nOwner of the licence, for example &#x2018;University of Test&#x2019;\nhttp://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/\n http://discovery.ac.uk/files/pdf/Licensing_Open_Data_A_Practical_Guide.pdf \n

- A validator..\nit checks your feeds are well formed and valid.\n\nif you haven&#x2019;t got an xcri-cap file, here&#x2019;s one I made earlier...wychwolf.com/moodle/wychwolf-moodle.xml\n
- An aggregator that manages feeds, the SOLR index can be interrogated by an API, and is has SDKs built for PHP Java and such like. \n
- More funds... for interesting ideas.\n
