Theyusually list courses in tabular form and do not explicitly show thecoherence or alignment of courses in a degree program.• An online interactive curriculum map enables staff, students andaccreditors to effectively visualize the overall organisation andmapping of a degree program [1, 2].• The developed interactive tree map shows the interconnectionbetween courses and can support staff and accreditors byidentifying academic gaps, overlapping courses or redundancies [3,4].Current curriculum maps in Glasgow University's School ofEngineering are static and are presented in tabular form.MethodologyPreliminary Results• Important for students to visualize their curricula.• Interactive map provided staff a better understanding of how theircourses fit in the overall degree program.• Helped staff identify content gaps/overlaps between courses.• Helped staff improve their teaching delivery.The Interactive Curriculum Map 2492835a@student.gla.ac.uk, sajjad.hussain@glasgow.ac.uk, rami.ghannam@glasgow.ac.ukThe Miro PlatformReferences:[1] S.
