CETL | Canvas | AI Guide | Course Design | Online | Software | Workshops Curriculum MappingCurriculum Mapping is a method that aligns teaching and learning experiences and goals at the course and curriculum level. It helps departments define and refine a logically organized/scaffolded series of learning experiences that facilitates and links student progress from the freshman to senior year. It also sheds light onto what is taught, when, why, and how in a way that makes sense to the faculty, the students, and the university. In short, it creates a coherent program. But it's sometimes tough because it requires members of a department to critically assess itself along those italicized dimensions. In a positive light, after the first iteration, it brings faculty together to reflect and refine. Why Map Your Curriculum?A Logically Mapped Curriculum
