Iterative and transparent for maximum visibility
It's tough to lead campus-wide continuous improvement initiatives when only one person holds access to the data - or worse, many people have disparate data and formats with no single source of truth. Enter digital curriculum maps. With pre-defined, consistent student learning outcomes, you can simplify how you engage faculty in tying course objectives to programs, co-curricular activities, and experiential learning, while maximizing real-time visibility into student learning.
Spend more time impacting what matters - student learning outcomes
Bringing everyone to the table
Curriculum mapping can be an overwhelming task for institutions. Course syllabi must be standardized to align with key outcomes, course objectives have to be identified in relationship to institutional goals. Faculty play a pivotal role in uniting assignments with big-picture initiatives, but training and implementation, alone, can feel like an immovable obstacle. This doesn’t even address the time commitment involved, which can be so consuming that getting the process implemented may not be possible before you actually need to put it to use.
Resource-heavy demands
Perhaps your institution sees the value in implementing the tooling and data integration necessary to step out of this unproductive cycle, but lacks the resources to see it through the deployment, training, upskilling, etc. This is where a unified platform can save the day, establishing the system necessary to streamline curriculum mapping while limiting versions and manual tweaks.
Building transparency, automating insights
A unified platform easily digitizes assessment, creating an efficient feedback loop which allows for continual implementation of identified opportunities through curriculum mapping. Such a platform creates visibility across courses, programs, even the entire institution, aligning objectives with student learning outcomes. With native integrations to your LMS, your data is centralized, accessible, and reliable—informing your curriculum maps seamlessly.
Curriculum mapping quandries
-
Are you actively assessing your curriculum to ensure you are meeting student learning outcomes?
-
Have you aligned your curriculum with your course, program, and institutional objectives, accreditation standards, and skills frameworks for more robust reporting?
-
Do you have the student learning outcomes data you need to engage in meaningful conversations with colleagues to plan and design improvements?
-
Are your faculty empowered to contribute to assessment processes in a seamless way or do they feel this work is duplicative and disconnected from their teaching and learning?
-
Do you have authentic assessment of student learning in your evidence for self studies, program review, and other reports to foster continuous improvement?
-
Can you link student learning outcomes to key assignments, rubric criteria, and quiz questions within courses from your LMS in an authentic and seamless way?
-
Are students meeting performance goals for your general education program?
-
How can you provide additional resources and support to students who are unable to meet proficiency of required coursework?
-
In what ways are you providing opportunities for prior learning assessment or alternative assessment of student learning to satisfy general education requirements?
-
Does your data reflect your current needs for continuous improvement and re-accreditation?
-
Do you have duplicative, disconnected, and underutilized technology that are not serving you and that can be sunsetted for a modern interoperable platform?
-
Can you easily aggregate and disaggregate your data to determine how student groups, courses, and course sections are performing on institutional, general education, and other outcome sets?
