Interdisciplinary Structures of Knowledge
How do diverse areas of human knowledge relate to each other?
Early prototypes for interdisciplinary curriculum mapping
A central aim of CCS at OpenEvo is to create tools to help educational researchers, policy makers, and practioners to better reflect on and improve the underlying structures of knowledge entailed in the organization of school subject areas and interdisciplinary connections represented in curriculum policy. The prototype web app to the right presents a visual demonstration of tools we are exploring to empower education stakeholders in these directions.

Computational Curriculum Studies
OpenEvo aims to support the emergence of the nascent field of Computational Curriculum Studies, the interdisciplinary study of the use of information technologies to describe, analyze, represent, and improve the design of learning pathways in formal education contexts.
OpenEvo Network Explorer
As part of our Computational Curriculum Studies (CCS) project, we are working to develop tools to enable researchers, educators, and students to navigate the landscape of resources within our OpenEvo system for the design of educational innovations.
Semantic spaces
As part of our Computational Curriculum Studies (CCS) project, we are working to develop methodologies related to the analysis of curriculum policy texts as semantic spaces – spaces of related meaning – that can be analyzed computationally to reveal opportunities and challenges for interdisciplinary and locally relevant curriculum design processes.
