DESCRIPTION
Slides that accompany this presentation given at Kuali Days 2010: Detailed Overview of the Kuali Student Curriculum Management with Demonstration This session will provide an overview of the Kuali Student 1.1 which represents the latest Kuali Student development effort. Institutions are adapting to serve a variety of learners and learning styles. They are developing curricular offerings that are vastly different and more complex than what traditional curriculum management software is capable of supporting. Kuali Student is addressing these issues. This session will also review how the new project methodology manages and prioritizes the partnering institutions' business requirements and technical constraints.

Course: Demos
Create a new courseScenario: Fred Faculty in the Biology Department proposes a new graduate course, BIOL500 – Graduate Survey of Molecular Genetics. The proposal is submitted and eventually approved.
Modify and existing courseScenario: Fred modifies this course to (1) change the Subject Code and (2) add a pre-requisite. The modification is approved.
Compare course versionsScenario: Fred compares the two versions of the course.

What is a Program?
• What is a Program?*– Baccalaureate– Graduate (Masters, Doctoral)– Professional (Law, Medical, Business)– Certificate– Minors – Departmental Honors– Continuing Education Non-credit Programs– Learning Communities

Program Design Objectives
Capture Program in a “structured-enough” format to ::
1. Support Curriculum Administrator’s view of programs
2. Capture the way courses are related to programs, via rules
3. Feed a published catalog on one side and (possibly) a degree audit on the other
4. Enable Curriculum Managers to understand the dependencies between programs and courses
5. Provide the basis for program exploration
11
Program Design Approach
• Start with Undergraduate– Baccalaureate– Major
• Specializations (pathway, track)– General Education Program– Departmental Honors Program– Minor
• Dig into Requirements – Associate Courses with Programs– Capture other conditions to be met for
Entrance, Progression and Completion

Program Requirements
• Program was able to leverage all of the course Rule Types, but also needed additional logic– Total number of credits for the Program– Must complete 1 or more programs– Minimum GPA for a course, course set,
time period or cumulative– Admitted to Program before some number
of credits is earned– Program entrance or completion must
occur within a timeframe of a milestone, admission to the program

What’s Next?
• Now that we have courses and structured programs that enable analyses between Programs and Courses– If I modify/retire this course, what other entities are impacted?
• Courses, course sets, programs– For this program, which courses are managed by orgs outside of the
Program’s managing Org
