Curricular Analytics: A Framework for Quantifying the Impact of Curricular Reforms and Pedagogical Innovations (1811.09676v1)

Abstract: In this paper we articulate a framework for quantifying the complexity of curricula based on their fundamental structural and instructional properties. We then introduce the notion of curricular analytics as a means of relating curricular complexity to student success outcomes, and we demonstrate the usefulness of curricular analytics by applying them to a number of important problems.
