JSON-LD Course Info ❺🧪

Generate valid JSON-LD Structured data from CMS Content

EXPERIMENTAL ALPHA ⑤

DO NOT USE this in production code, as it may be removed. We'll see if this approach works. Testing with Google is in progress.

STATUS

Testing Google response to our script generated JSON-LD.

Overview

: A rich result that lists courses from the same website.
: A carousel that shows detailed course information from a variety of websites.

When to Use

Google actually has some fairly strict and easy requirements if you want to use this type of markup:

only use it for educational content that fits the criteria for a course i.e. lectures, lessons, or modules in a particular subject
the course must have ” an explicit educational outcome of knowledge and/or skill in a particular subject and/or topic, and be led by one or more instructors with a roster of students.”
e.g. a general event such as “how to make eggs” is not a course

Usage Notes

<script>
var article = new window.sa5.LdJsonCourse();
article.headline = `Article headline`;
article.addAuthor (`Bob Hershel`);
article.publisher = `Sygnal`;
article.generate();
</script>

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Course",
  "name": "Introduction to Computer Science and Programming",
  "description": "Introductory CS course laying out the basics.",
  "provider": {
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "University of Technology - Eureka",
    "sameAs": "https://www.example.com"
  }
}
</script>
