Competency Centered Curricula Mapping Support: the Forested Visualization Tool
Abstract
Curriculum Design in competency-based education often lacks means to capture relationships between competencies and courses intended to develop them . In this paper, we present ForestED an interactive visualization tool which addresses this issue. Applied to curricula, ForestED displays visualizations of the curricula that render explicit the links between competencies and courses. While the visualization reflects the static curriculum definition, it also allows inference of competency development over time through the course timeline.
