Advanced curriculum mapping involves great detail and depth. Its planning and execution are more time-consuming than basic or intermediate, but the results can offer valuable information and insights about entire programs, and specific details about the courses within them. The advanced approach works best when programs have stated student learning outcomes and the courses within them have stated learning objectives. The librarians works collaboratively with faculty throughout the process.
The entries on this map can be text-based or coded, which should be decided by participants in the planning stages. Another layer of complexity would be to assign numerical values to allow for computing as part of the map's analysis.
*This map could also be executed using program outcomes rather than IL standards, if done outside of an IL context.
