What Academic Affairs Leaders Say
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"We used this to draft our Cybersecurity Analyst microcredential in under an hour. The O*NET alignment gave us exactly the employer-facing language we needed for our industry partnership proposal. What usually takes a curriculum committee three months to produce was there in draft form immediately."
"The stackable pathway output was the most useful part — it showed us exactly how the microcredential could articulate into our existing bachelor's programme, which is what we needed for the provost's approval. The badge framework came with criteria language that we basically used verbatim."
"Really solid first draft. The module structure and learning outcomes were well-calibrated to the occupational profile. We tweaked the credit hour recommendations to match our semester structure, but the core content was strong enough that our curriculum committee approved the programme with minimal changes."
"The employer partnership angle section was something I hadn't even thought to ask for — but it gave us a compelling narrative for approaching local employers as co-sponsors. We've since signed two employer partnerships off the back of the language this tool generated."
