SPEAKER: This tutorial is a step-by-step guide that
will teach you how to, one, align program learning outcomes
to courses, known as a curriculum map;
and two, upload a Chronological Assessment Plan,
also known as CAP.
I'm going to share my screen.
As you can see, I'm already logged into Taskstream.
I'm going to click on Programming Learning
Outcomes, PLOs Workspace.
This is very important.
Program learning outcomes must be entered prior
to creating a curriculum map.
I can check by clicking PLO Degree Certificate
Sets under the Standard Requirement Areas,
and I can see that my program learning outcomes
have already been created.
I'm going to click on Curriculum Map.
And I'm going to check out this space so
that I'm the only one who can work on it.
Click Create New Curriculum Map.
You will be creating maps for each degree or certificate
in your discipline.
Title each curriculum map with the degree or certificate name.
For example, communication studies.
I could put in AAT degree, for example.
For the time being, I'm just going to put degree.
Next you select Alignment Set.
I'm going to click down this arrow or click on this arrow,
and I'm going to highlight View Sets Available Within,
and it will have the name of your program.
I'm going to click Go, and I'm going
to click Select Next to Com Study AAT PLOs.
I will then click OK.
A new window will open.
Let me make sure I'm sharing the correct screen.
Here we go.
So a new window will open that you
will use to complete your curriculum map.
You will notice that the program learning
outcome sets you created earlier have
been generated at the top--
PLO1, PLO2, and typically you will have three to five PLOs.
You will see those across the top.
On the left side of the screen, click the plus sign
to start adding the courses in the degree or certificate.
These are courses that your specific program offers.
Do not include courses outside of your discipline
because those courses are likely not to align with your program
learning outcomes.
You're going to enter the course ID.
This will be the catalog horse prefix
and the three-digit number.
So for example, Comp Studies 2 would be entered as Comp
Studies 002.
If I put in Comp Studies 72, it would be Comp Studies 072.
For Course Activity Title, I will
enter the title of the course, Fundamentals
of Effective Speaking.
The description is optional.
I will then click Create.
For another course, I will simply click the Plus button.
Now put in another course.
Comp Studies 72, Logic and Argumentation.
I will click Create.
You can move around the order by simply just sliding
your cursor over the sixth dot next to the title
of your course.
If you make a mistake and you want to get rid of something,
simply click the X to delete.
Clicking the corresponding table cell
beneath each program learning outcome
to indicate if the learning outcome is introduced,
practiced, mastered, introduced and practiced, practiced
and mastered, or introduced, practiced, and mastered.
Now here's the thing.
There's a legend at the bottom.
If you do not see the legend, it could
be that your window is minimized and has cut off the legend.
Open your window fully so that you can see it.
You will continue this process for each course
in your program.
You might find that you have a course that
does not connect to all of your learning outcomes.
It is OK to leave a space blank to indicate
that a particular course does not
align with a particular learning outcome.
You will then click on the blue Save Now button
when you have finished.
Now something worth noting--
if you're creating another curriculum map that
has a lot of similarities to the one you just created,
you can click Actions and Copy From Another Map.
And this will allow all the courses
that are on this curriculum map to be
generated under another area, such as a certificate.
I'm going to now close out my screen.
And I'm going to go back to sharing my other screen.
Again, you can check this back in when you're finished.
I'm now going to go to Chronological Assessment Plan
to upload my CAP.
I will check out this workspace.
We're going to click on Attachments in the menu
at the bottom of the screen.
We're going to click on Upload From Computer.
And I can either drag and drop the file
or add the file individually.
And once the file or files are uploaded,
I would then Save and Return.
And when I finish uploading my file, I will check it back in.
And you will see the Check In Successful screen
and will have the opportunity to add a comment to the revision
history log.
Comments are not required.
And that is the end of this tutorial.
