Title: ai curriculum modernisation with learning outcome and industry demand alignment


How It Works

This workflow automates higher education curriculum analysis and modernisation using a multi-agent AI system. Designed for academic administrators, curriculum designers, and institutional planners, it eliminates manual effort in aligning course content with graduate employment outcomes and industry demand signals. The pipeline starts by concurrently loading graduate employment data, enrolment patterns, and extracting course syllabi from PDFs. These are merged and fed into a Curriculum Knowledge Base using semantic embeddings and text splitting. A Curriculum Modernisation Agent orchestrates two sub-agents: a Learning Outcome Alignment Agent (using semantic retrieval and cognitive load analysis) and an Industry Demand Forecast Agent (querying live employment data). Outputs are parsed and stored as structured analysis results, enabling institutions to make evidence-based curriculum decisions at scale.

Setup Steps

  1. Add OpenAI or compatible LLM API credentials to all Chat Model and Embedding nodes.
  2. Connect graduate employment and enrolment data sources.
  3. Set up vector store credentials for the Curriculum Knowledge Base node.
  4. Configure Employment Data Query Tool with your labour market data source or API.
  5. Update Store Analysis Results with your target storage destination.

Prerequisites

  • Vector store (e.g., Pinecone, Qdrant, or Supabase)
  • Graduate employment & enrolment data (CSV or DB)
  • Course syllabi in PDF format

Use Cases

  • Annual curriculum review aligned to graduate employment trends

Customisation

  • Swap embedding models for domain-specific academic corpora

Benefits

  • Automates labour-intensive curriculum mapping processes

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/13899/13899.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
