Develop Connections Between Courses

Your students deserve a coherent learning experience as they move through their college programs.

Unfortunately, all too often, students encounter a disconnected series of courses with notable and frustrating gaps and redundancies in material.

As a faculty member, for your part, you may have difficulty finding ways to move beyond the isolation of their individual courses to combine them into a more coherent overall program for students.

Benefits

By using curriculum maps, you can remedy this situation.

• You can develop connections between courses and relate them to the larger context of the student experience, providing a seamlessly optimal program.
• You can also find ways to engage faculty in a meaningful conversation about the interdependence of their separate classes.
• This is particularly important due to increased scrutiny and oversight of outcomes by accrediting agencies, funders, students, and employers.

Our presenter explains what curriculum maps are and how they can be used to improve the overall educational program at your institution.
