This project aims to develop an intelligent educational agent that will assist in analyzing curriculum consistency based on the lesson plans of a given program. Such an agent is useful at several key stages of the program management cycle: during program development, implementation, or evaluation. In short, the curriculum analysis process aims to study how the objectives or competencies of a study program, as well as the various contents, are distributed across the program's courses. Curriculum consistency analysis also focuses on the teaching methods used and the assessment approaches deployed.

Curriculum analysis tools are complex or expensive, and many higher education institutions use large Excel spreadsheets that are not very user-friendly. In addition, the new BCI requirements make this type of application particularly relevant for programs that need to be evaluated. But as mentioned, the tool would also be used during the implementation phase of a new program.

Regarding the design of the tool, the course outline, a public document, is already produced by all teachers in a program and is a very useful input. The experience gained by the team in other development projects leads us to believe that by combining writing techniques and RAG, we will be able to produce a functional prototype that will perform well. We will also take into account several ethical criteria: respect for copyright, confidentiality of personal information, limitation of confabulation, a more ethical language model, limited carbon footprint, etc. This first step is retrospective in nature, but in a future step (a subsequent project), we would like to develop an assistant for designing a coherent and effective lesson plan that can also be integrated into an ENA (Moodle).
