778049 - Course Mapping Camp (Self-Paced)
Course Description
Course Mapping Camp (Self-Paced) is designed as a flexible, asynchronous workshop for instructors and staff to design a pedagogically-sound course map. Participants will enter camp and be greeted by "camp counselors," dedicated instructional designers who present new content and milestones for each campsite. Participants will explore campsites with videos and resources from the camp counselors and "trialmarkers," no submission assignments to guide participants to completing each step of the course map. Campsites include topics on orientation, course goals, student learning objectives, modules, assessments, content, and more.
By the end of Course Mapping Camp, you will be able to:
- Create or modify course goals and learning objectives for your course to be measurable, specific, and learner-centered.
- Align student content and assessments with course goals and objectives.
- Define the overall structure for your course.
- Learn how to approach content development from a learner-centered perspective in order to build student knowledge, skills, and values.

Recommendations
To successfully complete Course Mapping Camp, it will help if you have the following prepared beforehand:
- A course idea (course goals and syllabus would be helpful but are not required)
- Approximately 10 hours to dedicate to course mapping
- Recommended to span out over 2-3 days so the course map items are fresh on your mind
- A quiet space
- Course Mapping Camp has options for a physical map or a digital map. The physical map option will require space to spread out in.
