Course advertising and XCRI [B7]

Abstract

This session will look at the embedding of good practice in the management and exchange of course advertising information across the education sector for the benefit of learners seeking the right opportunity and providers recruiting students through the use of XCRI.

The focus of the session would be introduce the emerging new facility, XCRi Knowledge Base (working title), incorporating an XRCi Self- Assessment Readiness Tool. These will be at near final stage then, and the workshop will give the opportunity to introduce the facility and seek views on final tweaks to ensure the facility is able to reach its maximum potential.

The facility aims to:

  • provide a single point of information for (UK) decision makers, influencers and implementers about good management and exchange of course advertising information across the education sector for the benefit of learners seeking the right opportunity and providers recruiting students.
  • provide an attractive and easily accessible information point for policy makers, managers, administrators and technical staff to explore, so that they can find relevant information quickly, gain a deeper understanding of courses information management from their own perspective and assess the issues within their own institution.
  • explain to the target audiences how XCRI acts as an effective and sustainable means of managing course advertising information, and to provide sufficient information for informed decisions to be made about implementation of XCRI, so that the institution can publish its information more widely and more effectively.
  • provide sufficient information that self-assessment work can be undertaken by an organisation to determine its state of readiness for XCRi. implementation, and to enable it to track progress towards XCRI usage.
  • through the provision of the facility, to enable and embed good practice in the management of course information and enhance take-up of XCRI across the sector.
