1. 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):

2. 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.

3. Curriculum Mapping Process
Tim Cappelli

5. 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

8. 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’
