  5. What Is Course Mapping? “Course maps are useful visual tools when designing or redesigning your course.  Paralleling the backward design process, a course map is essentially a representation of how you intend to approach and assess each of the student learning outcomes you identified for your course.” Center for Teaching and Faculty Excellence. (2012). Course Mapping. George Mason University. Retrieved from: http://ctfe.gmu.edu/teaching/course-mapping/

  6. Why Do Course Mapping? • Provides clear structure for course • Tool to use with students, peers, adminHelps ensure consistency • Meeting of goals and learning objectives • ALIGNMENT of course components

  7. The Rubric Key components must align. Alignment:Critical course elements work together to ensure that students achieve the desired learning outcomes. Eight General Standards: • Course Overview and Introduction • Learning Objectives • Assessment and Measurement • Resources and Materials • Learner Interaction • Course Technology • Learner Support • Accessibility

  8. Quality Matters Alignment: Standards • 2.1  The course learning objectives describe outcomes that are measurable • 2.2  The module/unit learning objectives describe outcomes that are measurable and consistent with the course-level objectives. • 3.1  The types of assessments selected measure the stated learning objectives and are consistent with course activities and resources. • 4.1  The instructional materials contribute to the achievement of the stated course and module/unit learning objective. • 5.1 The learning activities promote the achievement of stated learning objective. • 6.1 The tools and media support the course  learning objectives.

  9. Curriculum Mapping Program Level • “Big Picture” of an academic program • Shows progress through program, where objectives, introduced, developed & mastered • Assessment tool • Accreditation Tarleton State University. Course Mapping. Retrieved from http://bit.ly/1dOfnEe
