Learn How to Get Started with Curriculum Mapping in Higher Ed

Connect Learning Across Courses with Curriculum Mapping

No matter how good your individual courses are, without cross-curriculum coordination, vital learning opportunities will be lost. Ideally, your institution will provide seamlessly aligned coursework free of gaps or inefficient redundancies.

Are there gaps in your curriculum? What about redundancies?

The best way to find and fix these problem areas is by using curriculum mapping. Curriculum maps are increasingly being recognized as the key to enhancing curriculum alignment in higher education.

Effective mapping ensures that learning opportunities are connected across courses and relate to the larger context of the overall student experience. While the individual courses at your school may be excellent, coordination between them may be lacking. A holistic mapping process can help to remedy this challenge.

Curriculum maps allow institutional programs to respond to increased oversight of outcomes by accrediting agencies, students, employers, and other key stakeholders. They also help faculty members to move beyond their individual, separate spheres and to engage with one another in a meaningful discussion of how the complete combination of their courses can add up to a more meaningful overall learning experience for students.
