Morrow helps your assistant map curriculum and accreditation evidence across your program.
Use your own assistant with the Canvas or Moodle courses your account can open. Build curriculum and accreditation maps across many courses. Trace where students first meet a skill, practice it, receive feedback, and are assessed. Ask your assistant to name the page, activity, or assessment behind each finding.
Map a course sequence.
- One outcome, traced through 21 courses.
- Content and timing separated, with the items behind each.
- All 21 courses appear in one map with the lessons, activities, dates, and rubrics behind each finding.
Review the learning sequence.
Give your assistant the courses in the order students take them. Define what counts as practice. Your assistant reads the courses through Morrow and turns its findings into a map, chart, or report for faculty.
- 1
Choose the courses in the program and the one outcome or skill you are tracing this time.
- 2
Read where students meet that skill, practice it, get feedback, and are graded on it. Also find weeks when two courses assign heavy work at the same time.
- 3
Take the recommendation to faculty with the related page or assignment, then plan changes after they agree.
Find gaps, repetition, and workload problems.
Read the lessons, activities, and assessments across a program at once. Find the practice students never get, the reading they get three times, and weeks where deadlines pile up.
Review the Program Sequence
Find Skills Students Have Not Practiced
Compare outcomes, readings, practice, feedback, assessments, and prerequisites across the courses that feed a capstone or the next course in the program.
What You Get: The point in the sequence where students are asked to do something no earlier course let them try.Check Repetition and Workload
Compare repeated readings, near-identical activities, assessment timing, discussion windows, and the weeks where several courses are heavy at once.
What You Get: A list of what repeats and where deadlines collide, ready for faculty to weigh.
Plan the Course Changes
Turn a Faculty Decision Into Course Changes
Take the recommendations faculty approved and write the lesson, activity, assignment, discussion, or date each course needs.
What You Get: One plan for each course, with its reason, the item it touches, and the wording it would replace.See What Changed in Each Course
After approval, your assistant uses Morrow to check the course and compare the saved result with the plan you approved.
What You Get: A clear list of what changed and what still needs your attention.
What you provide and what the map shows.
A program map is only as complete as the courses it reads. Define the terms, and use Morrow to give your assistant the pages, activities, and dates behind the map.
What You Bring to the Map
The Sequence
The courses in the program, the order students take them, and the required prerequisites.
What Counts as Practice
Your own definition of introducing a skill, practicing it, giving feedback on it, and grading it, so a match is your standard and not a guess.
The Decisions Already Made
Approved revisions, accreditation requirements, and the courses faculty have agreed to change first.
What the Map Gives Back
A Map With the Pages Behind It
Every line names the course and the page, activity, or assignment it came from, so faculty can open the source of any claim.
What You Get: A map that faculty can check.Courses the Map Did Not Read
The map states which courses were read and which stayed closed, and why.
What You Get: The map never presents part of the program as the whole program.Recommendations That Require Approval
Each recommendation names the course, what it would change, and the reason it is worth the work.
What You Get: Nothing is saved until faculty approve it.
Find gaps between courses.
Check how one course prepares students for the next.
- Three courses read side by side.
- The smallest addition that closes the gap.
- Nothing is saved without a faculty decision.
Questions Curriculum Developers Ask.
How to compare courses, and how to take what you find back to faculty.
Can I compare many courses at once?
Yes. Choose the courses, then say what you want answered: an outcome, an activity, a form of assessment, or the workload in a given week. The answer names every course and page it read, and it names anything it could not open.
Can my assistant make a chart or a faculty brief?
Yes. Your assistant takes what it read through Morrow and builds the chart, brief, or draft with its own tools. Any later course change gets its own plan and review.
Does repeated content always mean a defect?
No. Repetition can help students build a skill. Compare the difficulty, feedback, and purpose of each repeated item before you remove one.
How does my assistant decide that a course covers an outcome?
Morrow does not decide which items match an outcome. It gives your assistant the pages, activities, and settings as they are saved in the course. Your assistant compares each item with the definition you gave and names its source. Open the source before you accept a match.
Can a map include a course I cannot open?
No. Your assistant can use Morrow only with the access of your signed-in account and only in the courses you select. It identifies a course outside that access as unavailable. It does not report that course as having nothing to fix.
Your First Request.
Trace one outcome through three courses before you take on the whole program. Replace the names in brackets with your own. This request only reads. Nothing in your course changes.
