Curriculum mapping encompasses hierarchical components such as: Program → Modules → Topics → Assessments and Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) → Module Learning Outcomes (MLOs) → Assessments.

This hierarchical structure can be effectively visualized using a sunburst diagrama radial chart designed to represent multi-level data. Each level of the hierarchy is depicted as a concentric ring, with the innermost circle representing the root (e.g., the program or overarching learning outcome).

The outer rings represent deeper levels of detail, such as modules, topics, or assessments.A sunburst diagram provides a clear, intuitive view of curriculum coverage across nested categories, enabling users to drill down from broad curriculum components to specific learning outcomes or assessments.

This makes it an effective tool for analyzing the depth and distribution of curricular alignment.
