@misc { title = {Open Syllabus}, author = {Open Syllabus}, abstract = {Open Syllabus is a non-profit research organization that collects and analyzes millions of syllabi to support novel teaching and learning applications. We help instructors develop classes, libraries manage collections, and presses develop books. We support students and lifelong learners in their exploration of topics and fields. We help faculty understand the impact of their work on teaching and support efforts to adopt open textbooks. We make course transfer easier and help educators align teaching with workforce needs. We also challenge faculty and universities to work together to steward this important data resource. Open Syllabus currently has a corpus of twenty-one million English-language syllabi from 140 countries. We use machine learning and other techniques to extract citations, dates, fields, and other metadata from these documents. The resulting data is made available through (currently) three online tools: - Analytics provides free and open exploration of most of the data, while reserving the most recent data and advanced capabilities for schools, publishers, and other institutional subscribers. You can try the 'full' Analytics by signing up for a free trial account. - The Coursematcher predicts 'course equivalance' across the catalogs of hundreds of schools as a way to support the course transfer process for students and college staff. - The Co-Assignment Galaxy is a massive plot of the top million titles in the Open Syllabus dataset, grouped by how often they are assigned together. It is the closest thing available to a unified representation of the project of higher education.}, month = {/}, url = {https://www.opensyllabus.org}, keywords = {syllabus, curriculum, college, archive}, }
