Tool-based support

Building on the experience of the initial version of our self-developed curriculum mapping tool, we are now developing the second generation of this tool: the Curriculum Information Tool (CIT). The CIT is designed to support processes for curriculum management, planning, and development. It is integrated with the ETH database via an upgraded interface, enabling direct access to all relevant catalog data, including competencies from the ETH competence framework.

Current Features of CIT 1.0:

Construction and visualization of current curricula
Modification of existing curricula
Visualization of mapped competencies

Development of the tool is ongoing, conducted in close collaboration with key stakeholders at the departments, to ensure it meets the specific needs of ETH Zurich.

Upcoming Features Currently Under Development:

Visualization of student workload data within curricula (based on course evaluation data)
Customizable sets of competencies, such as subject-specific competencies
