Paper Abstract:
|
Subject syllabus is a contract between the University and Society. Every year syllabus must be updated to contain last advances, the subject staff
The syllabus updating is a process that can be automated in order to reduce bureaucracy and eliminate errors generated by inclusion or elimination of some contents unintentionally. Usually this process is centralized in the subject staff but authorities (e.g. Government, Rectors office, teaching advice commissions) previously approve many of the information contained in syllabus file. Connoisseur of the problematic behind of this syllabus updating process, our University funds our work in progress to do a study of how to automatize as much as possible this process and propose some ideas for the design of a Web tool to do it. |
