- The relationships you’ve mapped between documents can be visualized on the Coverage tab of the Map tool by running coverage reports.
- Coverage reports show how the content of one document (the primary document) maps against, or is covered by, the content of another document (the secondary document) in a simple table.
Note: You can also display multiple secondary documents together in the same table, e.g., accreditation standards, instructional methods and staff names against your curriculum.
- For instance, a coverage report of your accreditation standards versus your curriculum will show you at a glance where particular accreditation standards are covered, and whether you have any gaps in your curriculum.
- You are also able to download coverage reports as .CSV files to:
- Share with faculty and your accrediting body
- Combine with data from other sources
- View large data sets easily
- Filter your data
- Save a copy
Two options for creating coverage reports
- The option you choose will depend on how you want to review and filter your data.
Option 1:
- Set your accreditation standards as the primary document (left side of the coverage table) and your curriculum as the secondary document (right side of the coverage table).
Note: The primary document can also be another document (e.g., staff, instructional methods or assessments).
Benefits:
- This shows you which accreditation standards are covered by specific areas of your curriculum, for instance, by year of study or a particular course.
- It also allows you to filter on individual areas of your curriculum when you download the report as a .CSV file.
- This is the best option for showing how accreditation standards are supported by your curriculum as a whole, and identifying any curriculum gaps at a glance.
Option 2:
- Set your curriculum as the primary document (left side of the coverage table) and your accreditation standards as the secondary document (right side of the coverage table).
Note: The secondary document can also be another document (e.g., staff, instructional methods, or assessments.)
Benefits:
- This is ideal for reviewing your entire curriculum at a glance, and identifying where each accreditation standard is covered. Your accrediting body is likely to ask for this style of report.
- It also allows you to filter on individual accreditation standards when you download the report as a .CSV file.
- This is the best option for identifying which courses or learning outcomes you have already mapped to accreditation standards, and which you still need to map.
