You can map your course and course measures like learning outcomes, course objectives, instructional objectives, lecture objectives, etc. to multiple standards by using the mapping screen. Once you have mapped the courses and course measures, you will be able to generate reports to review your curriculum and make enhancements.

Map Course Measures:
-
Upon selecting the course, you will find the options on left hand side under the course name to map an entire course and list of all objectives. Both the course level and course measure level will show up on the same page depending on the way you have configured the system. Any standards that have been activated to map with entire course will show up when you click on “map entire course” and any standards that have been activated for the course measure level will show up on each objective category that you select.
-
Select the objective you want to map your standard with. On the right hand side you will find the “+” icon for the standard activated for that measure category. The objective appears in red representing that it is not yet mapped and as soon as we map it, the objective will turn to green, and the number of mappings will show up in parenthesis next to the objective.

Click on the “+” icon and select the standards you want to map with. It is a multi-select option so you can select multiple standard sections at the same time. Use the “>” caret symbol to expand the parent standard and view its sub sections.

- Tags : You can add any tag to this mapping for example : In progress, Reviewed, Need Review or Need attention. Tags work as sticky notes for you and your team to be able to generate a report based on what has been tagged. If a faculty has tagged their mappings as “needs reviewed” then the person overseeing the mappings can generate a report and check which mappings needs to be reviewed and then tag them as “reviewed”.
