ViCurriAS: a curriculum visualization tool for faculty, advisors, and students

This paper introduces ViCurriAS, a visual tool to aid curriculum committees, faculty, and advisors in mapping a particular program of study. ViCurriAS also allows advisors and students to see the course dependencies and progress for the aforementioned program of study. ViCurriAS consists of two integrated environments: one for developing and arranging the flow of courses for a particular program or to aid in the introduction of new courses to an existing curriculum; and the second to provide an advising tool to visually show student progress through the program.
