For anyone who wants to contribute to creating an XML schema for syllabi, I've set up a wiki: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/syllixml/Main_Page Why care about SylliXml? Because it would enable us to do interesting things with aggregations of syllabi:
Educators could use it to learn how other teachers are constructing similar courses and what readings they are assigning (yay H20!) Researchers could mine this data to discover trends in education and patterns in disciplines Libraries could use the lists of readings attached to courses and class sessions to guide researchers to useful and influential works (yay ShelfLife!) Students could use this aggregated information to make decisions about course selections and schools
So, feel free to jump in, or to forward the link to someone you know and don't like enough to want to shelter from XML. Best,

Does this also suggest a WV project to create a structured page template for optional use? Something like:
=Subject outline= =learning objectives= =topics= ==topic 1 name== '''Readings, recordings, resourcres''' '''learning Activities''' ==topic 2 name== =assessment= =workload= =feedback=
Not suggesting this be a dominant page structure, but a template to help speedy creation, potential consistency for this sort of learning structure, and perhaps xml output for this Harvard project...
