EDCARTA SPARKS Course Audit

Six Pillars for Evaluating and Strengthening Curriculum

Resource Type: Reports and Briefs

Uncover the True Story Your Courses Are Telling
Every course shapes the student experience. When courses are clear, aligned, and engaging, students thrive. When they are confusing, inaccessible, or outdated, students disengage, and the impact shows up in retention, reputation, and outcomes.

The SPARKS Course Audit Framework is a comprehensive tool designed to evaluate curriculum across six essential pillars: Structure, Purpose, Accessibility, Resources, Knowledge Checks, and Skills. With more than 90 individually scored components, this framework provides a detailed look at what is working and what needs attention.

Through the SPARKS framework, you will gain:

  • A transparent review of course quality across six pillars of design.

  • A snapshot of overall strengths and weaknesses at the section and course level.

  • A priority action list that highlights the most impactful next steps.

  • Narrative recommendations to guide immediate fixes and long-term improvements.


Whether you are refining a single course or evaluating an entire program, the SPARKS Audit Framework gives you the clarity to make student-centered, evidence-based curriculum decisions.
