Appendix B
A QM Course Alignment Map (or Course Map) is a blueprint showing how a course’s parts, including learning objectives, activities, materials, and assessments, work together coherently to ensure students achieve the stated goals. This is a core requirement for Quality Matters (QM) certification, especially with the 7th Edition rubric. It visually connects weekly modules to overall course outcomes, ensuring all components serve a clear purpose, identify gaps, and create a logical, unified learning experience.
