Syllabus outcomes alignment

Overview

Draft or revise syllabi with learning outcomes, assessments, and outcome–assessment alignment matrix for accreditation and audit.

Getting Started

Add your syllabus (or outline) to the workspace and activate the skill. Run the validator to ensure outcomes, assessments, and an alignment table are present.

Tools

• validate_syllabus_alignment — Checks for learning outcomes, assessments, and an outcome × assessment alignment matrix. Flags missing outcomes, missing assessments, or missing alignment table.

Example conversation

You: Our syllabus is in course/syllabus.md. Validate that every outcome has an assessment and we have an alignment table.

Agent: Running validate_syllabus_alignment.

Agent: Outcomes found: 5. Assessments found: 4. Alignment table/matrix present. One outcome may have no explicit assessment in the table — consider mapping LO3 to the final project.

You: Map LO3 to the final project in the alignment table.

Agent: Updated the alignment table so LO3 is mapped to the final project.
