The centre successfully acquired two JISC-funded projects, namely SIP (Student Internship Program) and LUCI (Linking University Course Information),?under the lead of Dr Samia Oussena.
The aim of the LUCI project is to provide students with the information necessary for making a well informed decision on their course of choice.?In this project, as well as providing the course data in XCRI_CAP format, we also aim at providing the course data information about the course offering together with associated peripheral information such as transport, location, labour market, finance and learning resources in a linked data format. Linking data technology represent an emerging practices to interconnect information on the web. The project will investigate and prototype the implementation of technologies and practices for exposing and linking course data for students.
SIP is a JISC funded project that aims to enhance student employability and build better links between the university, businesses and community projects.?This project will look at how to implement an internship program at schools that do not have this provision yet, in particular in the school of Computing and Technology. The aim is to maximise student satisfaction and make a significant contribution to their readiness for employability. The project expects to take an Enterprise Architecture (EA) approach and use archiMate as the modelling language.
