The project converted what is unstructured, uncontrolled and turned it into managed and re-usable digital dataset. We've immediately discovered how to use the curriculum data to inform the strategy, as we can analyse the database, populated from all of our 1800 units in 250 courses down to the learning outcomes and assessment types.

Curriculum Management is the development, maintenance, and modernisation of the curriculum through processes of ideation, reviews, and approvals. Curriculum is the key asset of an educational institution as it connects learning outcomes to assessments to course content, using what’s known as Constructive Alignment Theory.
Managing the curriculum usually involves several different departments and stakeholders, especially in universities and other higher education institutions.
