Visualizing Curricula
Jacklynn Niemiec
Abstract.
The poster presents an approach for curriculum mapping through the use of data visualization techniques. A sample set of six courses is selected to study the potential of this method. Primary course data is mined from syllabi and assignments and then organized in a database format. The structure leverages course content as data to visualize information about learning objectives, competencies, and sequencing. Course content and sequence-based mapping examples provide evidence of this approach.
