| Omschrijving: | The current context of higher education demands a constant updating of curricula to meet social demands. This requires effective processes in curricular design and modification. Furthermore, the incorporation of information technologies facilitates the academic and administrative management of curricula by enabling adequate analysis for decision-making. Between 2019 and 2023, a curriculum mapping software based on learning outcomes (LO) was developed with the aim of supporting the design and updating of curricula. This software uses the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT). It is oriented towards undergraduate and postgraduate programs, and facilitates the alignment of curriculum components based on LO. Its development followed a design science methodology with a mixed-methods approach, and it was evaluated by three experts who highlighted positive results regarding its usability, usefulness, and relevance. It is important to clarify that the software is not intended for classroom use, so teaching staff and students are not direct users. Instead, its purpose is to support advisory teams and curriculum committees in the creation and updating of curricula. It was concluded that the software integrates essential functionalities that allow the implementation of curriculum mapping and the verification of alignment between curriculum components and LOs. Additionally, it offers the user functionalities for the correct writing of learning outcomes for both the curriculum and each subject. |
