Courseland

To create a standardized XML model of students to allow extensibility and new services to be built on top of existing legacy infrastructure at UC Berkeley.

Project mission:

• To model the processes used for scheduling classes and making sure students are on track to receiving their degrees.
• Analyze how current information systems (or "silos") are used and accessed throughout the processes.
• Create a standardized XML model of the system.
• Implement a prototype showing how the XML system can extend the current legacy systems.
• Propose and implement additional services that can be implemented using the prototype.

Potential impact:

• Improve students' overall registration experience
• Allow students to easily manage their degree checklists and registration fees.
• Reduce redundant, manual degree checks by students and staff.
• Expand to allow for more services.
