What is Curriculum Graph?
Curriculum Graph is ProfilEd's adaptive pathing layer. It connects a learner or programme goal to capability nodes, prerequisites, practice activities, evidence, and next actions.
ProfilEd product capability
Give every learning path a reason learners and educators can inspect.
Turn a learner or programme goal into a visible map of capabilities, prerequisites, practice, evidence, and next actions.
Built for: Programme leaders, Learning designers, Faculty, Learners, Career services teams

- ProfilEd Curriculum Graph turns a learner or programme goal into connected capability nodes with prerequisites, practice activities, mastery states, evidence, and visible next actions.
- Curriculum Graph connects goals, capability nodes, prerequisites, practice modes, and mastery evidence.
- The implemented learner view distinguishes locked, available, in-progress, and completed work.
- Curriculum Graph supports goal history and pathway regeneration when learner direction changes.
Common questions
Is Curriculum Graph a skills taxonomy?
It can represent capabilities, but it also connects them to prerequisite relationships, practice modes, mastery states, evidence, and the learner's current goal.
How does a learner use the graph?
The learner can see the current goal, available and locked nodes, progress, and the practice actions connected to each capability.
Can institutions define their own outcomes?
Yes. A programme can start with its own outcome or role context, then review the generated capability structure and evidence expectations.
Does the graph change over time?
The implemented product can retain goal history and regenerate a pathway when the learner's goal or development context changes.
Does Curriculum Graph certify mastery?
No. It records and organises practice and mastery signals. Educators and programme teams decide what those signals mean within their standards and review process.
Why the graph exists
A recommendation is more useful when people can see what it is trying to develop.
Personalised learning often stops at selecting the next piece of content. Curriculum Graph goes further by preserving the relationship between a goal, the capabilities behind it, the practice used to develop them, and the evidence returned by each attempt.
The graph begins with a learner or programme objective. It breaks that objective into connected nodes, including prerequisites that must be addressed before later work unlocks. Each node can point to ProfilEd practice modes such as Study Sessions, Story Quests, AI Case Labs, Socratic AI Interviews, and defence activities. As the learner practises, progress and evidence return to the graph so the next action has context.
The product view
See direction, dependencies, mastery, and available practice in one place.
The live Curriculum Graph shows the learner's goal, overall progress, capability nodes, prerequisite links, locked and available work, and the actions attached to each node.

How it works
From a stated goal to an evolving practice path.
Set the direction
Use the learner's target role, learning goal, organisational context, or a programme-defined outcome.
Build the dependency map
Represent capabilities as connected nodes so prerequisites and later milestones are visible.
Attach practice
Connect nodes to Study Sessions, Story Quests, interviews, simulations, and defence activities.
Return evidence
Use attempts and mastery states to update what is available and what the learner should address next.
Evolve the path
When the goal changes or the learner develops, retain history and regenerate the path with context.
What teams can do
Make adaptive learning understandable and governable.
Connect outcomes to activity
Show how a broad programme outcome becomes capabilities, prerequisites, and concrete practice moments.
Explain the next action
Let learners see what is available, what is locked, and why a particular activity matters to their direction.
Review movement over time
Use graph history and activity evidence to discuss what changed instead of treating the pathway as a static checklist.
Begin with a bounded map
Start with one role, programme outcome, or capability area before expanding the graph.
What the graph produces
A traceable relationship between intent, practice, and progress.
Goal map
The learner or programme outcome that gives the pathway direction.
Capability structure
Nodes and prerequisite relationships that explain the order of work.
Practice history
Activities attempted from each node and their current mastery state.
Next-action context
A visible reason for what is available, recommended, or still locked.
The graph organises learning decisions; educators still define their meaning.
Curriculum Graph does not validate a curriculum or certify competence by itself. Programme teams define outcomes, review the map, and decide how evidence contributes to learner support or assessment.
Implementation path
Build the first useful graph around one real decision.
Choose
Select one role, programme outcome, or learning journey with a clear user and purpose.
Model
Define capability nodes, prerequisites, and the evidence expected from each stage.
Connect
Attach the existing ProfilEd practice modes that can develop and reveal those capabilities.
Review
Use learner and educator feedback to correct the graph before adding more pathways.
