Mapping:The Nuts and Bolts
With special thanks to Kristin Rice for the restaurant analogy and slides.
Terminology
Mapping enables an institution and its programs to develop visual representations of how courses and experiences support outcomes/objectives.
Analysis Approach is a way to analyze courses (and experiences) and curriculum.
Required on Maps means that every map process will include this Analysis Approach.
Allow New Codes means that a program can add its unique codes to this Analysis Approach.
Mapping in WEAVEonline
is similar to:1. Opening a Restaurant2. Deciding what to put on the
Menu 3. Ordering a Meal4. Receiving your Meal

4. Determines if any Predefined Analysis Approaches will be included in Mapping.
5. Enters any additional institutional Analysis Approaches desired.
6. Retires and restores Analysis Approaches, if needed.
