Elements of a curriculum the building blocks of the curriculum - a Component has a set of Intended Learning Outcomes and is delivered by Activities within a Unit-of-Time. Example: Module Component: any part of a hierarchical subdivision of the Component delivery time within the Programme. Example: Year, Semester, Block Unit-of-Time: any teaching and learning activity which delivers Components of the Programme and has Intended Learning Outcomes. Example: Lecture, Clinical Skills (lab and clinical workplace), Case Activity: a clinical condition or symptom that will be encountered during Activities. Example: Acne, Dementia Clinical Situation / Presentation: an item of assessable knowledge, skills or behaviour acquired during the Programme. Example: To demonstrate knowledge of pain pathways, receptors and the neurotransmitters involved in differentiating between chronic pain and acute pain Intended Learning Outcome (ILO):

Connections between the elements The underpinning model confers adaptability : multiple starting points and routes through the curriculum; multiple taxonomies for tagging Components, Activities and ILOs; multiple ways to find, collect and report.

Curriculum Mapping Process Tim Cappelli

Stages of Mapping Stage 1 - Harvest, Collate and Review elements Stage 2 – Framing and Preparation Stage 3 – Mapping and Tagging Stage 4 – Review Coverage Stage 5 – Approve and publish

Tips Preparation is Key: Your curriculum elements written and reviewed Components and Activities ILOS listed and imported A schematic of your curriculum A Controlled process Start with the ’Knowns’ (usually Component to Activities) Then do the ’Unknowns’ (ILOs to ILOs and Taxonomies) Delegate but track and review progress Project Management Academic ‘buy-in’
