Course Picker first came together in January of 2007 as a Graduate Project using semantic web data and the Exhibit framework developed by the SIMILE project in CSAIL. It is vitally important that knowledge at MIT be applicable to the real world. Knowledge for knowledge sake doesn't solve real world problems, so when the Exhibit framework became available it really needed a great application to showcase what can really be accomplished with very minimal code, no database, and a thin and light user interface. What grew is the mashup application called Course Picker. It takes multiple sources of data and presents them to the user in a simple and efficient user interface.



The Course Picker application has evolved due to the contributions of many members in the MIT community. The following members were part of the original development team in CSAIL and the IS&T sponsored project to provide a restful web service for course listings.
