Automating Curriculum Design for Global Computing Education: A 15-Minute Solution
Speaker: Ernesto Cuadros-Vargas – Lima, PeruTopic(s): Society and the Computing Profession
Abstract
Developing robust and internationally aligned curricula is a time-consuming challenge faced by academic departments across all disciplines, from computing and architecture to medicine, engineering, and law. Recognizing this universal struggle, this presentation unveils an innovative way capable of automatically generating a comprehensive curriculum plan in under 15 minutes, while adhering to the latest international guidelines.
While our initial focus lies in computing, where bodies like the ACM/IEEE-CS Computing Curricula provide regularly updated standards, this approach is readily adaptable to any field with established curricular benchmarks.
This streamlined method produces a suite of valuable resources for any academic program, including:
Multilingual Syllabi: Effortlessly generate syllabi in multiple languages, facilitating international collaboration and program accessibility.
Competency Mapping: Gain insightful statistical data on competency coverage across all courses, ensuring alignment with accreditation standards and professional demands.
Visualized Curriculum Analysis: Leverage graphical representations to understand topic distribution, enabling informed decision-making for curriculum refinement.
Comparative Program Analysis: Generate figures to directly compare your program's structure and content against internationally recognized guidelines.
This presentation demonstrates how to dramatically reduce the administrative burden of curriculum design, freeing institutions to focus on delivering high-quality education that meets the demands of a globalized world – regardless of the discipline.
