Web Science Curriculum

Web Science is a new discipline We have developed an initial curriculum http://webscience.org/2010/wssc.html BUT Is it right?

We Are Trying to Verify the Curriculum

• By comparing with it with existing curricula • By asking people to share exemplar teaching

materials and resources • By comparing against Web Science research

literature

Comparing with it with existing curricula

• By looking at published info: http://wiki.websciencetrust.org/w/Curriculum

• By survey

https://www.isurvey.soton.ac.uk/admin/data/view.php?surveyID=2290

By asking people to share exemplar teaching materials and resources

• We have an EU proposal for a project to get people to share multilingual content

• We will ask them to share (and annotate) via EdShare http://www.edshare.soton.ac.uk

• We are exposing resourses by course and by curriculum topic

• The curriculum will emerge!

• (Not done this yet)

• Are people publishing things in the name of WS that don’t align with existing curriculum

By comparing against Web Science research literature
