Computer Science Qualifications & The Open Web

[ear1grey]

We run BSc courses where we actively promote open web standards and tools (e.g. this is a core final year unit on our Web Technologies BSc). There are other Universities that offer the chance to get a computer science qualification whilst also engaging students in understanding and furthering the goals fo the open web - but I don't know who they are. May I suggest a section (or perhaps there's interest in a related site) that identifies such courses and institutes? We'd certainly appreciate the link and the opportunity to push more minds in this direction, and the additional potential to identify other academics with similar web-focus in their teaching.

As we haven't had a reply to this so far, here's my take on it:

I think there's a level of value to referencing courses that promote open web standards (and we do appreciate any college that takes the effort to educate students about this topic).

At the same time, if we include a link to your course in the site, that suggests that we've had a chance to review what it offers, know that the content is up to date and falls in lines with our quality guidelines for recommending resources.

I don't feel that we currently have the resources to do such a review. Inclusion could also open up the doors to many other institutes asking to be covered and I think our time and efforts are perhaps better spent providing ideas/resources for how to move the web forward through direct contribution.

I hope that makes sense!
