Dennis R. Buckmaster · 2007 Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 17-20, 2007 · 2007
A topic grid with topics (course subject matter) in rows and courses in columns can help communicate curricular content. Topic grids were used through the curricular refinement process at two institutions. Generation of the matrix helps clarify the curriculum and interactions among courses. A few matrix coding possibilities are presented in this paper, but ultimately, learning objectives and cognitive level should be incorporated so that outcome assessment can follow.
