Plugin for Guide
Description
It would be extremely helpful to have a plugin to pull information from Guide into local WordPress sites maintained by departments. While departments would ideally not be recreating Guide content on their sites, this is a common practice that could be better managed through the use of the Guide API. This would streamline work within departments and prevent unauthorized changes to governed curriculum.
The broad availability of a plugin would help standardize the presentation of governed data. Current plugins exist that were developed by local, non-WiscWeb site owners to fill this gap. They have no guidelines for how to use the Guide API and do not always display governed data appropriately.
Examples
WordPress plugin on non-WiscWeb site, just trying to get by, pulling data from Guide in unapproved ways:
- Graduate example: https://edpsych.education.wisc.edu/academics/learning-sciences/phd-in-educational-psychology-learning-sciences/#text vs. https://guide.wisc.edu/graduate/educational-psychology/educational-psychology-phd/
- Undergraduate example: https://ci.education.wisc.edu/academics/undergraduate-majors/elementary-education-b-s-e/ vs. https://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/education/curriculum-instruction/elementary-education-bse/
