How to Build Your Map: (Delete when complete!)

Claremont Colleges Library Curriculum Mapping Template: 2012-13Created 6/2011, Revised 6/2012This template has been developed for use by librarians involved in the Claremont Colleges Library Curriculum Mapping Project. It models disciplinary mapping approaches and suggests best practices for naming and color conventions.To use this template to create the curriculum map for the subject area specified, follow these steps:1 Review the existing branches of the map to understand into the topical areas that you will develop. 2 To map each branch, you will need to investigate the college, major, and department websites of the appropriate 7Cs, as well as the graduate and undergraduate course schedule and catalog. Links to these sites can be found in this How to Build Your Map subtopic, at the Curriculum Mapping Project Plan map at http://bit.ly/ccl-projectmap2012, and in the Instruction Services Sakai site Curriculum Mapping Project resources folder. 3 Begin to fill in and expand each branch and subtopic with information taken from the above sites. Please delete what you don't need! For information on working with Mindomo, see a range of Help and How-to topics at http://www.mindomo.com/help/styling-mind-maps.htm4 You can use icons and annotations to make notes to self as you go (see smiley-face and notepad icons to your left). Alex Chappell's 2012-13 Art History map has great examples of this in action: http://bit.ly/ccl-arthist2012IMPORTANT: This template's topics, subtopics, and details are suggested guidelines, but should not be taken as fixed or required! All information can and should be revised, deleted, copied/pasted, and/or replaced based on the needs of a given subject area. For example, if Scripps does not offer a major or minor, student groups, or any classes in the subject you are mapping, you should merrily delete all instances of Scripps from the template.
