Course Sharing workshops and good news about UCAS
Save yourself time and money by developing an XCRI-CAP feed. Many institutions have realised the benefits of consolidating their course data into one master location. Simply outputting this data as a feed means that course aggregators can accept this instead of you or someone in your team manually updating Prospects, Hotcourses, StudyLink, etc. Come and find out more by attending a workshop at Manchester.
We also have assurance from UCAS that they are committed to XCRI-CAP;
“Prospects currently work with UCAS to provide course data for the UKPASS scheme. UCAS is also in the process of developing its postgraduate data and admissions services and, once live, this will include the facility to accept the XCRI-CAP feed. In the meantime, for at least the next 12 months, we will continue collect postgraduate data for the UKPASS scheme and the national database via Prospects’ current online portal.”
Prospects are running two workshops to help you kick-start your XCRI-CAP development.
