Educational design at the programme level is where the most expensive structural mistakes are made. A misaligned programme produces years of remediation downstream: redundant assessment, unmapped graduate attributes, and units that quietly fail to deliver on the course-level outcomes they advertise.
Poios supports educational designers with a structured workspace for programme architecture: course-level outcomes, graduate attribute mapping, unit sequencing, and threshold concept progression. Every design decision is recorded against the evidence base it draws on, whether that is the Biggs and Tang constructive alignment framework, the Fink taxonomy of significant learning, or institution-specific graduate attribute statements.
The output is a programme map that is reviewable, modifiable, and exportable to the formats your accreditation body requires.
