Curriculorum : a computer science approach to curriculum management
Robert R. Lewis · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2008
Having been assigned part-time to an administrative position (concurrently with normal academic duties) in charge of curriculum management, the author has developed curriculorum, a system to assist in that task that was, is, and will continue to be developed by and for a computer scientist. We describe the design of the system and how it has evolved to meet requirements that were only dimly perceived when the project started. As such, the project has been a gratifying exercise in the development of its designer's skills in data management, in software engineering, and in Python, its implementation language. We provide guidelines for the reader embarking on a similar project.
