It extracts MeSH terms, maps courses to outcomes, and tags exam questions, providing objective data for accreditation and curriculum improvement.
How is mapEDU different from traditional curriculum mapping?
Traditional curriculum mapping uses tedious faculty surveys that take months or years and produce subjective results. mapEDU eliminates faculty surveys by using Natural Language Processing to analyze actual delivered classroom content, completing the process in minutes with 100% objective results.
What content can mapEDU analyze?
mapEDU can analyze recorded lectures (Zoom, Panopto), PowerPoint presentations, course handouts, syllabi, course descriptions, objectives, and exam questions. It extracts text and identifies MeSH terms from audio, video, and text files.
What national outcomes does mapEDU support?
mapEDU comes pre-loaded with USMLE, PCRS, AACN CORE Essentials, QSEN, COMLEX, AACOM EPAs and Core Competencies, AACP EPAs, CAPE 2013 Educational Outcomes, ACPE Appendix I, NAPLEX, and TACCT for allopathic, nursing, osteopathic, and pharmacy schools. Custom outcomes can be imported.
How does exam tagging work?
