Overview of Course Map Structure

return to top

 

 

  • Each course map should be organized into unit folders (See Adding Unit Folders below).
  • All materials for the unit are inside of the unit folder.  
  • If your curriculum includes lessons, each lesson should have a lesson folder.  (See Adding Lesson Folders below). Inside of the lesson folder will be the lesson plan or seed and all of the resources for students associated with that lesson.   
  • When adding materials to the folders, you may drag and drop to rearrange them in your preferred order for teachers to view.  
  •  When determining where to place the resources in the course map, use the following table as a guide:

 

Type of Resource Intended Audience How to Add to the Course Map
Course Level Resource Teacher Link in the Course Overview.
  Student Link in the Course Overview AND add as a material in the main folder before or after the unit folders.
Unit Level Resource  Teacher Link in the Unit Overview.
  Student

Link in the Unit Overview AND add as a material in Unit Folder. 
Lesson Level Resource  Teacher Link in the Lesson Plan. 
  Student Link in the Lesson Plan AND add as a material in the Lesson Folder.
