<h2>About CIT</h2>

<hr>

<p>The curriculum mapping tool (CIT) is designed to help degree programs with most tasks related to curriculum planning by providing a one-stop-shop solution to visualize and analyze your current or a planned curriculum in full alignment with current ETH policies and initiatives making unnecessary detours through the entire MS Office suite a thing of the past.</p>

<p>The main focus of the CIT is to assist with the process of making your curriculum competence-oriented. A competence-based curriculum is the best starting point for any curriculum development down the line.</p>

<p>The CIT is still in <strong>development-mode</strong> and as such we view it as a <strong>prototype</strong>. We continue to develop the tool with the user group in mind. If you have specific use cases that you would like to discuss, do not hesitate to contact us.</p>
