Right now, teachers have to manually make their syllabus for each course. Those syllabi are not published anywhere where students and other interested parties can view them. Furthermore, there is very little information available for accreditation, and to attract potential future students, funding agencies and cooperation partners of FU about our education and the courses we teach. It would be great if we can use the wiki to disseminate this information, and at the same time use that as the basis to directly generate the course syllabi.
This capstone project will create the functionality in the Drupal system that we use for the wiki that provides a structured set of fields that needs to be entered for each course, and display it in a structured manner in the wiki.
