Curriculum Management System

About

The Curriculum Management System (CMS) is an online integrated platform that provides a centralised, collaborative environment where staff can create, review, approve, amend, assess, publish and view student curriculum modules and programme proposals. This new CMS system digitised the paper and email-based manual processes, and enabled the tracking of end-to-end processes from curriculum creation to information storage. In centralising key curriculum information, CMS is a vital source of current and historical data with versioning capability. 

The system is integrated with other NUS systems that require curriculum information such as Education Records System (EduRec), Canvas ( NUS’ Learning Management System) and Online Application Portal (OAP). It serves as a reliable, auditable and single source of truth of all NUS curriculum information. The CMS has brought curriculum planning and creation to a whole new level with greater automation, transparency, higher capabilities and efficiency. It also fosters higher levels of teamwork and collaboration amongst staff.

"What I am most excited about is the repository feature; information about our curriculum will be readily accessible in one central place."
Associate Professor Martin BuistVice Dean (Undergraduate Programmes), College of Design and Engineering
"CMS provides a clear view of how the programme or module has evolved."
Mr Lim YeeDeputy Registrar, Registrar's Office
"The CMS represents a significant automation of the existing manual process of submitting module and programme proposals. It is an integrated platform that provides online forms with hints, validations, checks and easy tracking and visibility when the proposal is at the approval stage, and enables on-the-fly retrieval of module and programme information and proposals. Perhaps more importantly, developing the CMS provided an opportunity to engage the various faculties on how we could streamline and improve existing process. I am confident the net result will be greater operational efficiency and effectiveness in the way NUS manages its curriculum."
Mr Rajaram RamasubbanNUS Registrar, Registrar's Office
"The CMS is an on line, integrated platform that will provide a centralised, collaborative environment where we can create, amend, and view module and programme proposals and track the end-to-end processes of creating curricula and providing information on them. The system will empower academic and administrative colleagues by providing a unified portal across NUS faculties and schools. As a result, academic processes relating to creating curricula will be simplified and made more efficient."
Prof Bernard TanSenior Vice Provost, Undergraduate Education
