Iterative and transparent for maximum visibility

It's tough to lead campus-wide continuous improvement initiatives when only one person holds access to the data - or worse, many people have disparate data and formats with no single source of truth. Enter digital curriculum maps. With pre-defined, consistent student learning outcomes, you can simplify how you engage faculty in tying course objectives to programs, co-curricular activities, and experiential learning, while maximizing real-time visibility into student learning.

Spend more time impacting what matters - student learning outcomes

Bringing everyone to the table

Curriculum mapping can be an overwhelming task for institutions. Course syllabi must be standardized to align with key outcomes, course objectives have to be identified in relationship to institutional goals. Faculty play a pivotal role in uniting assignments with big-picture initiatives, but training and implementation, alone, can feel like an immovable obstacle. This doesn’t even address the time commitment involved, which can be so consuming that getting the process implemented may not be possible before you actually need to put it to use.

Resource-heavy demands

Perhaps your institution sees the value in implementing the tooling and data integration necessary to step out of this unproductive cycle, but lacks the resources to see it through the deployment, training, upskilling, etc. This is where a unified platform can save the day, establishing the system necessary to streamline curriculum mapping while limiting versions and manual tweaks.

Building transparency, automating insights

A unified platform easily digitizes assessment, creating an efficient feedback loop which allows for continual implementation of identified opportunities through curriculum mapping. Such a platform creates visibility across courses, programs, even the entire institution, aligning objectives with student learning outcomes. With native integrations to your LMS, your data is centralized, accessible, and reliable—informing your curriculum maps seamlessly.
