clewCURRICULUM INTELLIGENCE

Find the thread.

Clew connects what you teach, test, simulate and grade in clinic, so you can follow every competency through your curriculum and answer “where is this standard taught, and how much?” in one place.

A dashboard for everyone involved

Clew overview dashboard for a dean, showing framework coverage, CAP first-time pass rate and faculty calibration

One thread, four layers of evidence

Filter by cohort, clinic group, student, faculty, course or year.

Didactic

Courses and sessions tagged Introduced, Reinforced or Mastered, with hours.

Assessment

ExamSoft items mapped through your categories, with counts and averages.

Simulation

Daily sim exercises and practical exams, with pass rates.

Clinical

Patient experiences and CAP attempts graded chairside, with procedure counts.

DASHBOARDS

A dashboard for everyone involved.

Everyone signs in to the same data and sees what matters to their role, from the dean's program view to a student's next CAP.

The whole program at a glance

For the dean and associate deans for academic and clinical affairs.

  • Framework coverage: taught, assessed and practised
  • CAP first-time pass rate and faculty calibration
  • Unmapped standards and evaluations awaiting grading
  • CODA self-study and permissions for every group

THE PROBLEM

Your evidence lives in five places. Site visitors want it in one.

Curriculum maps

Spreadsheets that go stale the week after they're finished.

Exam results

Locked in ExamSoft reports nobody connects to the curriculum.

Clinic grade sheets

Paper or one-off forms, counted by hand toward requirements.

Calibration binders

Sign-in sheets that show faculty attended, not that they agree.

FEATURES

Everything academic affairs needs to see the whole curriculum.

Curriculum map and thread explorer

A standard × course heat map. Switch between hours, exam items and clinical experiences, show gaps only, and click any cell to follow its thread.

Chairside grading and CAPs

Students self-assess on their phone and route it to faculty, who see the self-rating beside their own. CAPs unlock once students have enough qualifying experiences.

Procedures counted when graded

CDT code, tooth and surfaces are recorded with the self-assessment and count toward requirements the moment faculty grade. No separate log.

Faculty calibration, measured

Inter-rater agreement, each grader's leniency or strictness, and test-tooth exercises that keep uncalibrated graders off high-stakes rubrics.

Blinded simulation practicals

Quick, clean rubrics for daily sim work. For practicals, two faculty grade independently from a random queue, seeing only a candidate code.

CODA self-study, drafted from your data

For each standard, Clew assembles the evidence, renders the charts and drafts a narrative from your data only. You review, then export to Word or PDF.

GRADING AT THE CHAIR

The procedure, the rubric and the requirement on one sheet.

  • Students start on their phone; Clew installs as a web app.
  • Weighted criteria and critical-error levels, or entrustment scales for EPA programs.
  • Faculty submit or return the grade, and the procedure counts automatically.
  • Students see CAP readiness; group leaders see their whole clinic group.

FACULTY CALIBRATION

Prove faculty grade the same way, with numbers instead of sign-in sheets.

CODA expects programs to document calibration. Clew turns every double-graded experience and test-tooth exercise into evidence.

AGREEMENT

Inter-rater reliability

Weighted Cohen's κ, first-pass and post-regrade calibration rates, and criterion-level agreement.

CALIBRATION RULE

Disagreements caught

Set a maximum score gap per rubric. Graders who exceed it regrade once; results still apart are flagged.

TEST TEETH

Calibration exercises

Faculty grade typodont specimens against a reference. A pass lasts six months, with a reminder before it expires.

GUARDRAILS

Calibrated graders only

Block uncalibrated graders from high-stakes rubrics, or flag their grades. Your program chooses.

CURRICULUM MAP

See the gaps before CODA does.

Start with CODA standards for predoctoral or hygiene programs, the ADEA competencies and a topic keyword list, all editable. Upload courses by CSV, tag sessions with emphasis and hours, and see every standard from D1 to D4.

Competency-based or EPA program? Clew starts you with an editable framework for either.

INTEGRATIONS

Works with the systems you already run.

axiUm stays your patient record and ExamSoft stays your exam platform. Clew is where clinical work is graded and the curriculum comes together.

ExamSoft

Available

Upload your item and category export today, or connect through the API adapter. Unmatched categories map to your tags.

Canvas

Available

Open Clew from inside Canvas with single sign-on (LTI 1.3), bring graded Canvas assignments and outcomes into the assessment layer, and send rubric scores straight to the Canvas gradebook.

axiUm

Planned

Bring procedure codes and dates from your EHR into Clew, so students don't record them twice.

No patient health information. Clew stores only a de-identified encounter reference, never patient names or charts.

ABOUT CLEW

A thread to follow. A point to steer from.

A clew (say it “kloo”) has two old meanings, and we built Clew on both. First understand how everything in your program connects, then act on it with intention.

  1. The spiral is your curriculum: many courses and experiences wound together.
  2. The path is the thread pulled straight: the tangle made clear.
  3. The point is where the thread leads: the insight, the answer, the clue.

IN MYTH · THE THREAD

Find your way through the labyrinth

A clew is a ball of thread. Ariadne gave Theseus one to unwind as he entered the labyrinth, so he could follow it back out. It’s also where the word “clue” comes from. Clew helps you see what connects to what in a complex curriculum, and where the gaps are.

AT SEA · THE CLEW OF A SAIL

Take hold where it counts

The clew is the lower back corner of a sail, where the line that controls it attaches. Pull in or ease out at the clew, and you shape the whole sail to the wind. Clew is where you take hold of a whole program and adjust it with evidence, not guesswork.

WHY IT MATTERS

Data that serves people

Curriculum data is only worth collecting if it helps the people behind it: the faculty who teach, the students who learn, and the patients they will care for. Every dashboard in Clew is built with them in mind.

FAQ

Questions schools ask

Does Clew replace axiUm?

No. axiUm stays your patient record. Clew is where clinical work is graded, procedures are counted and the curriculum comes together.

Does Clew run course evaluations?

No. Keep your current survey tool for course and faculty evaluations. Clew focuses on curriculum mapping, rubric grading, calibration and evidence.

Does it work for dental hygiene programs?

Yes. Hygiene programs start with CODA dental hygiene standards, the ADEA allied competencies and a starter list of procedure requirements, all editable.

Does AI write our self-study?

It drafts, using only your Clew data, and marks anything it can't know for your program to confirm. Your associate deans edit, approve and export every word.

We use EPAs, not competency statements. Will it fit?

Yes. Choose EPAs in settings and Clew creates a starter framework with an entrustment–supervision scale as the default rubric scale.
