A digital system designed for colleges and universities that provides a visual representation of course content, learning objectives, and assessment methods. This allows institutions to see how individual courses align with broader program goals and accreditation standards. For instance, a university might use such a system to track how a specific history course contributes to the history department’s overall learning outcomes and the institution’s general education requirements.
The deployment of these digital tools in degree-granting post-secondary institutions offers several benefits. It facilitates better alignment between curriculum design and institutional missions. This improved transparency helps faculty identify gaps in the curriculum and adjust teaching practices for better student outcomes. Historically, program reviews were conducted manually and often lacked the granularity offered by these modern solutions, resulting in less effective planning and resource allocation.
