The ‘Curriculum Map Design’ micro-credential is awarded for demonstrating knowledge about the connection between student learning outcomes and curriculum mapping, the role of curriculum maps, the purpose of program vs. course curriculum maps, how curriculum maps drive instructional decisions, and the options for creating curriculum maps.

This micro-credential is in the Academic Assessment Series, which consists of five modules focusing on foundational aspects of academic assessment and continuous improvement.

Upon completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:

• Describe how curriculum mapping supports student learning.
• Explain the difference between program level and course level curriculum maps.
• Examine curriculum map templates to determine which might be most appropriate for your purpose.
• Determine which curriculum model is most appropriate for you given the content you teach.

Following the session, participants are provided the opportunity to submit the final version and a rubric is used to share additional feedback.
• Submit a final quiz. If learners receive less than 80% on the quiz, they are prompted to retake the quiz.
