Hello,

I have a few questions about the iscedCode attribute.

I was trying to connect the iscedCode of a Programme with the parent OUnit as you suggested. A study program based on my experience could cover more than one fields of education, for example the undergraduate study program of the Computer Science department of AUTh that I am in, covers mainly the "06 Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)" field but there is also a lot of focus given to the "054 Mathematics and statistics" field.

Would it make sense if the iscedCode attribute in the Programme endpoints was an array of objects instead of a simple string, so that the main iscedCode field and the secondary fields could be mentioned or it is meant just for the main field that is covered?

Also, the ISCED-F code redirect link in the iscedCode attribute description of Programme and Course endpoints in the documentation, doesn't seem to work properly.

Is OCCAPI implemented in Erasmus Dashboard or will it ever be?

Many smaller institutions do not have a digital course catalogue system to which they could add an API component.

As far as my situation is here, we use Excel and paper, and there is just 1 person (me...) managing all the IT infrastructure...

Since course catalogues do not change on a regular basis, why having not implemented a simpler solution, akin to RSS, for example?

The institution would set and update a course catalog in a specific format at a specific URL (for example https://myuniversity.eu/ewpcoursecatalog.csv ), give that URL to the dashboard (the dashboard would validate the contents and make sure syntax is correct, or otherwise throw an error); then the OLA could ping that URL to fetch the course list on a regular basis.

For a situation like mine, I would go ask the secretary to give me the updated course catalog, upload it to our website, and we would be done...
