  3. Programme drivers • There are 3 main drivers for making it easier for people to find and compare courses: • prospective fee paying students want to know more about the academic experience a course will provide and be able to compare this with other courses; • better informed students are more likely to choose a course that they will complete, and be more motivated to achieve better results; • increased scrutiny by quality assurance agencies and the Government’s requirement for transparency of publicly funded bodies.

  4. Programme scope • The programme will support the sector to prepare for the increasing demand for course information, and increase the availability of high-quality, accurate information about part-time, online and distance learning opportunities offered by UK institutions teaching HE by: • funding institutions to make the process and technical innovations necessary to release a structured, machine-readable feed of their course-related information • create a demonstrator aggregator to bring together this course information and enable prospective students to search it.

  5. Programme Outcomes • There will be increased usage of appropriate technology to streamline course data processes leading to: • More standardised, and therefore comparable, course information in a consistent location making discovery easier. • Improved quality and therefore more efficient and effective course data. • Increased ease in finding and comparing courses, especially types of courses that are currently hard to find, such as ones delivered by distance learning. • Institutions are able to make appropriate and informed decisions about their processes for managing course-related data, leading to a reduced administrative data burden, cost-effective working, and better business intelligence.
