"Web based curriculum mapping is a process that focuses on what is taught, how and when it is taught, how it is resourced and how it will be assessed ..."
What does a curriculum map do?
A curriculum map:
Examines the total learning of students in a cohort, or programme
Creates a snapshot of instructional/ learning activities and identifies hotspots
Identifies content and skills to be learned and assessments to administer
Provides visual representation of timelines for instruction and improvement (more than one term at a time)

Why map?
Because mapping . . .
leads faculty and librarians to ask thought-provoking questions about improving how to improve instructional activities (i.e. media literacy)
serves as an impetus to align courses horizontally and vertically
identifies gaps, repetitions and potential areas for integration
provides a database of curriculum, information literacy learning needs and resources
is iterative, ongoing and linked to long-range planning exercises
