Visual Modelling for Design and Implementation of Modular Curricula

European curricula are currently being reorganized to fulfill requirements and recommendations set forth by the Bologna Process. Design, development and rollout of new curricula constitute significant change processes and need cooperation and coordination. This paper describes the use of visual modeling within an interactive online environment (ActiveCC Web) to share knowledge and support coordination among teaching staff during the implementation of a new curriculum. Graph based visualization is used to support the illustration of the curriculum structure and course pedagogies and offers intuitive navigation through the curriculum.
