The Curricular Analytics Community

The Curricular Analytics Community is designed to involve faculty and staff in a process that leverages improvement science and curricular analytics tools to identify opportunities for equitable curriculum redesign at their institutions. High curricular complexity has been correlated with low retention rates, extended time to graduation, and increased credit accumulation for students. 

The community allows institutions to quickly visualize curricula in new ways and then dynamically adjust these visualizations to test how changes impact curricular systems.  The process helps participants locate problems of practice and design new ways of supporting student success.  Drawing on the characteristics of a Networked Improvement Community, the Curricular Analytics Community has a well-defined aim—curricular redesign that will increase equitable persistence and graduation rates—and is guided by a theory of improvement, allowing members to work in an accelerated way to Plan, Do, Study, and Act.
