Course Mapping
Planning is an essential step of any course design or redesign. Course mapping is a key part of the planning process in which we apply backward design and alignment principles to create a plan for the course.
What is a Course Map?
A course map is an outline or visual representation of your course. In a course map, you specify module outcomes, assessments, assignments, activities, and course materials, ensuring alignment to student learning outcomes.
In addition to ensuring course activities are aligned to the SLOs, creating a course map also helps ensure that course activities and materials appropriately scaffold course content so that learners can improve their skills and knowledge over time.
