XCRI is a JISC-funded, UK-oriented project to establish a specification to support the eXchange of Course-Related Information.

A key activity for XCRI is the development of an XML specification, the XCRI Course Advertising Profile (or XCRI-CAP for short). Learning providers can publish their courses information in the standard XCRI-CAP format, so that it can be collected easily by organisations with course search services such as UCAS. Opening up the offerings of learning providers creates new possibilities for value-added services and information channels for universities, colleges, and training providers.

XCRI is supported by JISC, and operated in partnership between the JISC-CETIS service at the University of Bolton, Manchester Metropolitan University, and KaiNao Ltd.
