Curriculum mapping software that shows what your students learn — and proves it.
Outcomap helps educational researchers, curriculum designers, and university administrators build, visualize, and present curriculum maps — for research, accreditation, and strategic planning.
About Outcomap
Outcomap is AI-powered curriculum mapping software for higher education, K-12, and accreditation teams. It turns syllabi, program specifications, standards documents, and learning outcome lists into interactive network maps of courses, outcomes, prerequisites, and standard alignments.
Outcomap is used by curriculum designers, accreditation coordinators, educational researchers, department chairs, and instructional designers at universities, community colleges, K-12 districts, and professional schools. It supports the following accreditation frameworks: ABET (EAC, CAC, ETAC, ANSAC), HLC, SACSCOC, WASC, MSCHE, NEASC, AACSB, CCNE, ACEN, CAEP, QAA, NZQA, and any custom standards framework you define.
Outcomap is web-based, requires no installation, and offers a free plan with one curriculum map and five AI generations per month. Paid plans start at $9/month and include unlimited maps, publishing, embedding, and 200 AI generations per month.
Used by researchers and curriculum teams at academic institutions such as MIT, University of Texas at Austin, and community colleges in Colorado.
Curriculum lives in your head and scattered spreadsheets.
Relationships between outcomes, modules, and competencies are inherently visual — they belong on a map, not in a table.
Tables hide structure
Prerequisites, alignments, and gaps are invisible in a table. You can't see how your curriculum connects and where the gaps are.
Accreditation reviews are high-stakes
Reviewers expect you to demonstrate outcome coverage clearly and quickly. Hunting through documents during a site visit is not a strategy.
Complexity grows faster than content does
As programs evolve, cross-module dependencies multiply. A change in one course silently breaks five others, and nobody notices until too late.
From data to clarity in three steps.
No setup fee, no onboarding call. Upload what you have and start seeing your curriculum as a map within minutes.
Bring your content
Paste a description or upload a document. Outcomap's AI reads your curriculum and extracts entities, outcomes, and relationships automatically.
Your content is yours. We do not share or sell your data.
Build the map
Review and edit the generated graph in the visual editor. Add prerequisite links, group nodes into modules, and annotate with metadata.
Build beautiful, interactive maps with expert designs.
Share and present
Publish a link for accreditation visitors, embed in your institutional website, or export for reports and presentations.
You have full control over who edits or sees your maps.
See it for yourself.
Explore a live map — pan, zoom, click nodes, search and filter.

Curriculum mapping questions, answered.
Common questions about curriculum mapping, accreditation, and how Outcomap works.
- What is curriculum mapping?
- Curriculum mapping is the process of documenting and visualizing how learning outcomes, courses, modules, and competencies connect across a program. It surfaces prerequisite chains, coverage gaps, and alignment with standards — information that is invisible inside spreadsheets or syllabi.
- What is curriculum mapping software?
- Curriculum mapping software helps educational institutions build, share, and maintain curriculum maps as living visual artifacts instead of static documents. Outcomap is curriculum mapping software designed for higher education, K-12, and accreditation teams — with AI-assisted generation, interactive network visualizations, publishing, and embedding.
- Who uses curriculum mapping software?
- Curriculum designers, educational researchers, accreditation coordinators, deans, department heads, and instructional designers. Anyone responsible for showing how a program teaches and assesses what it claims to teach.
- How does Outcomap’s AI generate a curriculum map?
- You paste text or upload a PDF — a syllabus, program specification, learning outcomes list, or accreditation document. Outcomap’s AI extracts entities (courses, outcomes, modules) and relationships (prerequisites, alignments, coverage) and drafts a structured map. You review and refine — nothing is locked in.
- Can I use Outcomap for accreditation (ABET, HLC, SACSCOC, others)?
- Yes. Outcomap works with any accreditation framework. Build outcome alignment maps that show how courses satisfy specific standards, then publish a live read-only link for visiting panels or embed it in your institutional documentation.
- How is Outcomap different from spreadsheets or generic diagram tools?
- Spreadsheets hide the structure of curriculum — prerequisites, gaps, and cross-cutting alignments are invisible in tables. Generic diagram tools (Lucidchart, draw.io, Miro) make you draw shapes manually and don’t understand educational data. Outcomap is purpose-built for curriculum: entities and relationships have semantics, layouts are automatic, and AI can read your existing documents to generate a draft.
- Can I publish or embed my curriculum map?
- Yes. Any map can be published with one click as a shareable URL — viewers can pan, zoom, and explore without an account. Published maps can also be embedded in an institutional website, LMS, or accreditation portal. Maps stay private by default until you choose to share.
