Institutional Curriculum Mapping: Expeditions to Uncover Hidden Learning √ §
An interactive, life-sized curriculum mapping game!

Description
What is unique about UMBC’s mission and vision? How can we articulate who we are as an institution through our institutional learning outcomes? Our interactive, life-sized curriculum mapping game challenges you to think about UMBC’s identity, as expressed in the mission and operationalized in the institutional-level learning outcomes. Are there any gaps between the articulated outcomes and the mission? Are other learning outcomes central to who we are as an institution visible in the mission but hidden in the outcomes? Working with educators from the Center for Global Engagement, we’ll use the map to explore the “hidden outcome” of global learning. A hidden outcome identifies learning that is not explicitly articulated in the learning outcomes, even though educators are working to help students achieve this learning (discussed in Chapter 6 of A Guide to Curriculum Mapping, Harrison & Williams, 2024). Is global learning an important and valued competency for UMBC graduates? Should it be articulated as an institutional-level learning outcome?

Sessions in this series are designed to help you to reflect on challenges in collegiate teaching and how you, in your role as a formal or informal leader at UMBC, can contribute to innovative solutions. Faculty and staff colleagues will address specific challenges in interactive presentations designed to help you explore key questions, for example:
- How can you use research to improve teaching, learning, and curriculum design?
- How can you connect to other teaching leaders to identify common challenges and devise shared solutions?
- How can you contribute to a collaborative culture of evidence-based teaching to improve student learning?
- How can you identify policies, processes, and technologies that make it easier to gather and use evidence of student learning?
- Are chairs, deans, graduate program directors, or have formal leadership roles, or
- Have informal leadership roles or who aspire to be campus leaders.
