Applications of Instructional Design Mapping Strategies in the Development of Complex Integrated Courses

Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, School of Pharmacy, University of Maryland, Baltimore, 100 Penn Street, Baltimore, MD 21201

Courses that attempt to integrate information from multiple disciplines are often difficult to design and implement. Such courses may tend to become an unorganized conglomerate of content that satisfies the needs of discipline specific faculty rather than the learning needs of students. By using a course mapping strategy that is grounded in instructional systems design theory, faculty from different disciplines can work together to design complex courses that facilitate successful learning and accomplishment of pre-determined curricular outcomes. This article will present an approach to course mapping and examples of its application to several integrated courses developed by faculty at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy.

Key Words: pharmacy education • integrated courses • curriculum • curricular design • curricular mapping
