XCRI: Implementing XCRIA two phase approach
Phase 1:1. Meet with the Web Development, MIS and Marketing Managers.
2. Obtain an overview of current systems (e.g. platform/software/database)
3. Identify how the website courses are populated
4. Allocation technical resource to develop the XCRI export feed
5. Identify how resultant XCRI export fits into their future plans. A straightforward export will take around 1-2 days to develop, but where systems and processes are more fragmented, then the discussions will form around phase 2
6. Publish the XCRI feed to the web

XCRI: Institutional benefitsWhat courses do we actually offer?Phase 2A wider institutional approach to data management
Goal An accurate, authoritative and re-usable single
source of course information
![Page 13: XCRI in the East Midlands Linking London LLN 26 th January 2011 Kirstie Coolin Centre for International ePortfolio Development Research and Learning Resources](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060106/5515d1fe550346d46f8b4696/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
XCRI: Institutional benefits
Benefits of the journey- Identifies a common goal- Cross-institutional, technical and non-technical
working group- generally IT, MIS, Marketing, admissions
- Discussion of the ‘full course journey’, systems and procedure
More efficient information management
XCRI feed re-usable amongst internal and external systems
More responsive to change

XCRI: What changes have to be made?Remember: XCRI is not a system
• Changes to databases or servers are minimal, XCRI ‘sits on top’ of existing services
• Cost of initial implementation is low, involving some initial software development from IT/MIS
** XCRI implementation will mean improving current internal processes – the scale of implementation is up to you **
