Visualize curriculum data
Mappy is a tool designed to help educators visualize and analyze curriculum data. It provides multiple visualization options including radar plots, binary heatmaps, and cumulative heatmaps to provide a programmatic lens on assessment design and gain insights into curriculum coverage.
Mappy is fully bootstrapped — it has received no external financial support — and is currently developed by Fiacre Rougieux in his spare time.

Mappy is a curriculum exploration and assurance tool. It helps map evidence, identify gaps, and support decisions about curriculum quality. That is useful. We want to clarify that it is also not enough.
In 2009, Gert Biesta argued that education systems risk "valuing what we measure" rather than "measuring what we value." The point is that measurement can end up defining what quality is. What gets counted starts to look like what counts.
In Mappy, we recognise we operate inside a system of accreditation frameworks, program reviews, and quality assurance cycles which all create demand for evidence. Mappy helps produce it. That is the job. We recognise that the evidence Mappy displays in all our visualisations — CLO coverage, PLO alignment, assessment distribution, progression logic — sits within what Biesta calls the qualification function of education. It says very little about whether a program socialises students into particular ways of knowing uncritically, or whether it creates conditions for genuine independence of thought. Those questions are harder to map. They may not be mappable at all.
So at Mappy, we want to make clear that coverage and alignment are proxies, not values. They can tell you where evidence is weak or missing. They cannot tell you whether the claims being evidenced are worth making. That judgement belongs to you, the people who design, teach, and govern curriculum. Mappy is there to make that judgement better-informed and more defensible, not to replace it.
