Mapping Learning Outcomes to the Curriculum
Begin by asking for any outcome, “In what program, course, or session will students be introduced to and master the necessary skills associated with this outcome?” How a map is created really depends on the level of outcomes being mapped, and specific terms used may vary among institutions that use curriculum mapping. Curriculum maps “front-load” a lot of work in planning a course or program, but once a curriculum map is complete, it provides clear direction for instruction and assessment.
