Our verdict on Akari
Akari is a cloud-based curriculum management platform for universities and other higher-education organisations. It brings curriculum design, collaborative review, formal approvals, version management, learning-outcome alignment, accreditation mapping, publication, reporting, and downstream integrations into one workflow. The platform covers programme and module information, teaching and assessment activities, documentation, and curriculum processes, making it a fit for institutions that need controlled coordination across complex curriculum structures.
Its strongest area is depth across the curriculum lifecycle. Teams can create learning outcomes with embedded Bloom and SOLO taxonomies, map teaching activities and assessments to those outcomes, and connect programme outcomes with professional accreditation standards. Curriculum search helps identify repeated or similar content, while version management supports changes across downstream systems and student cohorts. Automatic publication and reporting, together with CSV, Excel, Word, and PDF exports, support distribution and review beyond the core platform.
Akari also fits institutions with an established academic technology environment. Its RESTful curriculum API and higher-education application connectors are designed to work with student information systems, learning management systems, virtual learning environments, content management systems, customer relationship management systems, timetabling solutions, library systems, data warehouses, business intelligence systems, and bespoke in-house applications. Pricing is available through contact with sales rather than published plan tiers. Institutions seeking complex governance, outcome mapping, accreditation alignment, and broad integration should consider Akari; organisations needing only basic curriculum editing or a simpler self-serve tool may prefer a narrower alternative.
