A Guide to Curriculum Mapping synthesizes teaching, learning, and assessment research with an innovative, inclusive, and comprehensive approach to effective curriculum design that centers student learning and evidence-informed continuous improvement.
A Guide to Curriculum Mapping offers adaptable tools, resources, and templates that readers can customize to their own institutions and programs. The authors offer ways to document, synthesize, integrate, and visually represent how learning opportunities work together—whether within courses, across degree programs, or throughout an entire college or university. The authors have presented their integrated mapping approach to acclaim at conferences for close to a decade and have tested their use in programs large and small across the US, beyond systematically applying them at their home institution, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
This book enables educators—whether faculty, chairs, deans, administrators, educational developers, staff, or assessment leaders concerned with student learning and success—to think through the clarity, organization, and alignment of their programs for improving learning using learner-centered research.
