Here's an interactive tutorial:
15 STEPS
1. Looking to assess how complete a course graph is?
Use this tutorial to audit the state of a course in CourseTune. Additional help articles are linked within the text.
2. CourseTune is organized in different levels and layers. To begin, check that the course is on the correct level- level 4.
Is the course are on level 4 in the left panel?
3. Every course needs a name, which is located in the center of the course map.
Does the course have a descriptive name? Use this guide to edit the course information.
4. In addition to the course name, a description of the course is useful to describe what is covered and how this course fits into set or sequence of courses.
Use the right panel to view the course description.
5. The course description can also be viewed by Editors while in Edit Mode, by opening the Edit Course menu from the course graph.
6. From here, check to see if the course has learning objective scales selected.
Each course can use two unique scales for mapping. This is an optional step, but important for quality learning design.
7. This is where a second learning objective scale may be selected.
This selection is optional.
8. Each course must choose a type of Bundle that is used to organize the delivery of the course.
Editors can change the Bundle layer type in this menu.
9. Check to see that the course has unique bundles identified. In this example, they are called weeks and orbit the course name. If you don't see Bundles, check what Layer you are on in the bottom left panel.
Use this guide to add more bundles.
10. The outer ring of the course is for learning objectives. Check that each Bundle has learning objectives associated with it.
Use this guide to add multiple learning objectives.
11. Well-worded learning objective statements are the foundation for articulating a student pathway.
Editors can edit the statements to be clear, specific, and measurable.
12. If a course aligns to any industry standards, benchmarks, outcomes, or learning scales that will display in the mappings panel on the right.
In this example, Marzano Complexity has been turned on to show Analysis on the course graph.
13. A complete course has activities and assessments that are linked to the learning objectives they cover.
Use the Activities panel to audit the diversity, coverage, and frequency of activities.
Editors can add more assessments and activities.
14. Switch to the C-Layer, or competency layer to view the course-level goals that orbit the course graph.
Does the course have competencies that students will gain when they complete the course?
Editors can add C-layer elements with this guide.
15. This view of the course displays how the individual learning objectives map to the course level objectives. Check that each Competency has the correct learning objectives in it.
If you see all these elements- your course is looking good!
