The Power of a Curriculum Map
Patsy ButterbrodtDirector of Outcomes AssessmentLMU - CVM
Sherry BushongAssociate Director of
Curricular & Student Assessment& Institutional Analytics
SGU - SVM
Why map the Curriculum?
• Identify and document what is being taught
• Document where and when it is being taught
• Identify duplications in what is being taught
• Identify lapses or gaps in what is being taught
• Identify and document where curriculum ties to
competencies

How does that work? How can I use the map?
• Search by links to items at each level• Search by keywords or phrases• Identify un‐linked content
Why is it called a map?Think of a roadmap with directions (e.g. google maps)
Country – USA – Interstate roadsState – Tennessee – state highwaysCity – Knoxville – local highways and major roadsNeighborhood – individual roads, buildings
“You can’t get there from here” – yes you can

Who uses a curriculum map? Classroom teachers – what am I teaching when and how? Departments – what are we teaching when and how, and
how does it all fit together? Schools – Vertical / Horizontal mapping – what links to what
in our curriculum? Programs – what do our graduates need to know and when
and how are we covering everything? Colleges/Universities – what are all of the programs we
offer?

Disclaimer: The following information is not to be perceived as endorsement of any oneformatting preference for a curriculum map, nor is the presentation of these formats meantto encourage or discourage use of these or any other mapping software. The authors of thispresentation do not have any form of compensation or any understanding with thepublishers of Microsoft Office®, MedHub® or any other proprietary software. These aresimply programs that were available to us at the time we first began creating our curriculummap, and are the programs we have used to explore the options available.
So how does that look on paper? Or electronically?
LMU‐CVM is experimenting with our map in:
• A set of Excel workbooks
• An Access database
• E*Value

So what’s the difference? Excel – has to use individual pages for
levels 4 and 5 for each course Access – when searching, have to
search each workbook individually E*Value – links through one level only

SGU Step 1: How to get started!?•Determine what you are trying to accomplish
• Identifying gaps in the curriculum• Identifying weakness and strengths in the curriculum•Evidence of clinical exposure•Time spent on objectives/topics•Assessments used to measure students’ academic performanceEtc…etc…etc...
SGU Step 2: Formatting for CM•Take your lecture PowerPoint and convert it into an outline form
*This will be done for EACH lecture
OR
11/1/2017
21
SGU Step 3: Copy and Paste!•Copy it and paste it into a Word document
SGU Step 4: Find Objective/Outcome/Topic
•Highlight objective/outcome/topic in
11/1/2017
22
SGU Step 5: Keyword fun!•Highlight the keywords that correlate the objective/outcome/topic in GREEN!
*The best way to highlight keywords is to think of what you would search for!Ex. Data Collection not Advanced or Vaccine not Needle
SGU Step 6: Time spent?•Label how much time is spent on EACH objective/topic.
11/1/2017
23
SGU Step 7: How is it assessed?•Note how the objective/topic is assessed.
• Examples: Multiple Choice Exam, Group Presentation, Oral Presentation, Homework Assignments, Essay Exam, Etc.
•Can be noted at the top of the lecture notes, unless an objective/topic is assessed differently
SGU Step 8: What format is it taught in?•Note whether it is a laboratory session, lecture session or a combination.
•Only needs to be noted once unless the course is taught in more than one format.
11/1/2017
24
SGU Step 9: Accreditation Information•Specify which of the 9 AVMA Clinical Competencies it relates to.
*If every topic in the outline is assessed in the same format, then it can be noted one time.

Now it’s our turn!•Information is now organized by lecture and course
•Electronic copy allows “copy and paste” to occur directly from the outline format into E*value • It saves time• Prevents spelling errors by (non‐veterinarian) coordinators who are responsible for inputting information into E*Value (or the software/system you have chosen for your mapping fun).

At our colleges, we already have:
E*Value® is a software program for management of medical rotations, scheduling, preceptor feedback, and student digital portfolios. It just happens to be the platform that we use at LMU‐CVM and SGU‐SVM for our clinical/professional skills logging and our fourth year rotations. It has a built‐in curriculum map app.
Some rave about its multiple abilities and ready‐to‐use medical focus. Others feel it is not very user‐friendly or easily navigated. Pros/cons for any software…

It’s all great but you cant do it alone!

You have the info but is it right?!•Problem:
I am not a veterinarian or medical health professional…
•Solution:The formation of a committee to assist in the reviewing process.
Curriculum Mapping Committee Review Function
•Committee formed specifically for the purpose of curriculum mapping.
•One faculty member from each department is trained.• Responsible for:
• Collecting map information• Reviewing for keywords• Reviewing completeness with all necessary information• Standardizing jargon (feline vs cat, canine vs dog, etc)• Updating the map with course changes/additions in their department
11/1/2017
34
Curriculum Committee Review Function•Typically, a Curriculum Committee is already in existence for curriculum development purposes.
•Since our curriculum committee is made up of various levels of faculty and staff from every department and student representatives, we consider our committee well represented.
Challenges to Curriculum Mapping(activity)
1. Buy‐in from administrators who would use map
2. Buy‐in from faculty who actually teach the content
3. Software to house the map – comfort zone
4. One person to handle the information – MapMaster
and the final challenge to mapping….

IUPUI Conference – October 2017
USES: What is being taught, Where and When it is being taught Identify duplications, identify lapses or gaps Tie instruction to institutional goals and objectives NEEDS TO BE: Logically and obviously linked vertically and horizontally Easily searchable for keywords or phrases – searchability is key ACTIVITY: Identify the possible levels of your educational program: _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ SOFTWARE PLATFORMS: Excel, Access, E*Value®, ExamSoft®, many other possibilities Where is your technological happy place? ___________________________________________ CHALLENGES: Administrative support – who will use the information and for what purposes? Your administration contact(s): ______________________________________________ Faculty – have to supply the information for the map or it is not a complete picture Who will be the “map champion” at your school? ________________________________ Software – does the program you select do what you want and need it to do? See above for your “happy place” in software ___________________________________ MapMaster – who will be the one person in control of the information? Possibilities for your MapMaster _______________________________________________
Summary: Each level is a list of the vision/goals/objectives/competencies/student outcomes for that level. Each item in a level links to an item in the level above. Also, each item in a level has items in the level below that link to it. If neither of these is in place, the item should be reviewed for educational value. Must have the buy-in of administration for two reasons: 1. To support and encourage faculty to do the work necessary to create the map 2. To use the map and share findings with committees to continually update curriculum **The keyword is the key to searching the map for specific content. Use the map to identify where competencies are being taught and how they are being assessed. Use the map to identify content that is being understood well and where there are challenges. Use the map to identify duplications of content being taught. Is this co-curricular teaching and well placed or is it the same concept in two places? Courses could be reduced in hours. Use the map to identify content that is not being taught but is part of the expectations of the curriculum. Use the map to identify where new content can be added to instruction, whether inside an existing course or as a completely new course. The map is never “finished” – it is a living document that changes with the content of the discipline, the faculty of the courses, and the expansions of and restrictions to the curriculum.
