      Overview 

      The Curriculum Matrix is available to all users by default and provides a quick visual and numerical inventory of where curriculum tags are assigned to courses. The Matrix reflects only those curriculum tags that have been assigned to a course through the Course Setup page, not all tags applied to events, gradebook assessments, etc.
      The Curriculum Matrix does not reflect relationships between tags that are mapped in flat tag sets.  It just shows those tags directly assigned to a course. It will reflect the relationships between tags that are part of a hierarchy in a single tag set. If context-based linkages are enabled, the Matrix will display these tags. The Curriculum Matrix can be a useful tool to help identify where curriculum objectives might be under or over-represented. The information stored in the Curriculum Matrix can be downloaded as a csv file.
