Easily see how any course—or individual section—delivers in-demand skills. The Course Skills Analysis tool empowers academic leaders to pinpoint gaps, ensure consistency across sections, and align learning outcomes with workforce needs.
Step 1 — Select the Courses tab
Browse your institution’s full course library or search for a specific offering. You can explore everything from general education to specialized workforce programs.
Step 2 — Filter by Program or Course
By Program: Focus on the courses within a specific academic pathway to see skill coverage across the full curriculum.
By Course: Drill into a single course (or section) to understand exactly what skills are being taught—and to what depth.
Step 3 — Choose a View: Heatmap or Bar Graph
Heatmap: See color-coded skill coverage across all sections—instantly revealing where skills are not taught, partially covered, or extensively taught (Levels 4–5).
Bar Graph: Compare skill proficiency side-by-side by section or institution to quickly identify leaders and laggards.
Why this matters for decision-makers
With Course Skills Analysis, you can:
Ensure alignment with employer needs by confirming skills taught map directly to job market demands.
Identify inconsistencies in how skills are taught across campuses, sections, or instructors.
Drive program improvement using data-backed insights instead of anecdotal feedback.
Example Use Cases:
A provost compares multiple sections of Introductory Survey up to 1877 and spots one section with no coverage of “Critical Thinking and Problem Solving,” prompting targeted faculty development.
A dean uses the bar graph to benchmark skill coverage in “Regulation and Legal Compliance” across campuses, ensuring uniform learning outcomes before accreditation review.
