Learning Experience Design & Course Mapping

Microcredential programs of all modalities must have clearly defined learning outcomes for each learning unit and corresponding assessments built into Canvas. The course mapping worksheet is a useful resource to plan your microcredential's overarching course objectives, weekly learning objectives and learning activities/assessments. Further guidance for building the course in Canvas will be provided from your learning designer. (Make a copy of the worksheet for your own use.)
