Case Study: Western Michigan University achieves curriculum compliance and gap visibility with eMedley

Western Michigan University closes curriculum gaps in time for 2019 site visit with eMedley

Western Michigan University's Occupational Therapy program, a top-ranked program, faced the challenge of adapting its curriculum to meet new accreditation standards (ACOTE) set by AOTA. They needed to identify any gaps in their curriculum to ensure compliance for an upcoming site visit. The university partnered with vendor eMedley and used its eCurriculum solution to address this.

eMedley implemented its system to analyze the program's syllabi and map them against the new standards. This revealed specific missing standards, allowing faculty to address the gaps well ahead of their 2019 accreditation visit. The solution also provided ongoing visibility into curriculum coverage, engaging instructors to improve their lectures. Furthermore, Western Michigan University plans to use eMedley to design its new doctorate-level curriculum.
