5 Many prospective students do not get adequate advice or information to help them choose a course of study Browne, Oct 2010 The consultation proposes that providers of higher education should review their approach to publishing information for prospective students. It suggests that a standardised set of key facts for each course should be published on institutions web-sites. This information would be called the Key Information Set (KIS) HEFCE, Dec 2010 In our 2008 report, we suggested that universities should publish a standard set of information setting out what students can expect from their academic programme – we are pleased to see that the coalition government will be taking this forward National Student Forum, Annual Report 2010

15 From XCRI Knowledge Base (www.xcri.co.uk):www.xcri.co.uk "XCRI has had a significant impact on systems effectiveness and has saved us time and money in the production and distribution of our course marketing information." Fiona Carey, Assistant Director, Communications, Student Services, The Open University …XCRI and CAP has led us in many fruitful directions, including geospatial mapping, mobile portals, and re-examining internal data. Most important, however, was the stimulation and exemplar it continues to offer in the use of open and linked data. Sebastian Rahtz, Information and Support Group Manager, Oxford University Computing Services
