| description | The current context of higher education demands a constant updating of curricula to meet social demands. This requires effective processes in curricular design and modification. Furthermore, the incorporation of information technologies facilitates the academic and administrative management of curricula by enabling adequate analysis for decision-making. Between 2019 and 2023, a curriculum mapping software based on learning outcomes (LO) was developed with the aim of supporting the design and updating of curricula. This software uses the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT). It is oriented towards undergraduate and postgraduate programs, and facilitates the alignment of curriculum components based on LO. Its development followed a design science methodology with a mixed-methods approach, and it was evaluated by three experts who highlighted positive results regarding its usability, usefulness, and relevance. It is important to clarify that the software is not intended for classroom use, so teaching staff and students are not direct users. Instead, its purpose is to support advisory teams and curriculum committees in the creation and updating of curricula. It was concluded that the software integrates essential functionalities that allow the implementation of curriculum mapping and the verification of alignment between curriculum components and LOs. Additionally, it offers the user functionalities for the correct writing of learning outcomes for both the curriculum and each subject. |

El contexto actual de la educación superior exige una actualización constante de los planes de estudio para satisfacer las demandas sociales. Esto requiere procesos eficaces en el diseño y modificación curricular. Además, la incorporación de las tecnologías de información facilita la gestión académica y administrativa de los planes de estudio al permitir un análisis adecuado para la toma de decisiones. Entre 2019 y 2023, se desarrolló un software de mapeo curricular basado en resultados de aprendizaje (RA), con el objetivo de apoyar el diseño y la actualización de los planes de estudio. Este software utiliza la taxonomía revisada de Bloom (TRB), está orientado a programas de grado y posgrado; y, facilita el alineamiento de los componentes del currículo con base en RA. Su desarrollo siguió una metodología de ciencias del diseño, con enfoque mixto, y fue evaluado por tres personas expertas, quienes destacaron resultados positivos sobre su usabilidad, su utilidad y su pertinencia. Es importante aclarar que el software no está destinado para utilizarse en el aula, por lo que el personal docente y el estudiantado no son usuarios directos. En cambio, su propósito es apoyar a los equipos de asesoría y comisiones curriculares en la creación y actualización de planes de estudio. Se concluyó que el software integra funcionalidades esenciales que permiten implementar el mapeo curricular y comprobar el alineamiento entre los componentes del currículo y los resultados de aprendizaje (RA) en los planes de estudio. Además, le ofrece a la persona usuaria funcionalidades para la correcta redacción de los RA tanto del plan de estudio como de cada asignatura.
