Faculty View to Aid Approval Process

Elements that Require Approval• Each course outline has three elements:

• Course Master – contains all the constant, non-variable details; one per course no matter to how many programs the course is delivered, in post-secondary or continuing education; Associate Dean approval

• Resources – are attached to the master course outline on a program-by-program basis; Faculty submit

• Quick Link/CLink to Standards – links to Vocational Standards (VS), Essential Employability Skills (EE), and External Standards (ES), as appropriate, are attached to the master course outline on a program-by-program basis; Faculty submit

• Each element must be approved individually in order for students to access course outlines upon registration.

Quick Linking Should not be used on a regular

basis, especially for programs that have undergone program review

Is often used, however, by new faculty or those who are not familiar with program mapping.

Identifies which vocational standards (VS), essential employability skills (EE), and/or external standards (ES) the course (as a whole) helps the student accomplish

Quick Linking is used during for the: Program approval process Credentials Validation Service

(CVS) process Detailed on student view of course

outlines on a program by program basis

CLinking Is Mohawk’s preferred method

of linking to standards Identifies which course learning

outcomes help the student achieve VS, EEs, and ES by the end of the program, and to what degree: very significant = 4 significant = 3 moderate = 2 minor = 1

Used to develop Curriculum Mapping Matrix (CMM)

Maintains up-to-date program map

The CMM is the basis of program mapping and informs on-going program quality enhancement and program review

All course outlines for courses in programs in review MUST be CLinked.
