Course Mapping Template

Creating a course map is essential to online and hybrid courses because alignment between learning outcomes, activities, and assessments is key to ensuring an easily navigable and intuitive learning path for students.  Mapping out a course this way also provides the instructor with a blueprint to course design, helping to ensure all pieces fit together. Online Programs and Academic Partnerships created a course mapping template here that instructors can use to map out courses to establish alignment and a clear path to learning.
