CURRICULUM MAPPING FOR A SHORT-TERM ONLINE COURSE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Recently, building short-term online courses for the various training programs, such as soft-skills courses, professional development courses, free open courses, is necessary. There have been many approaches to designing online courses based on research and experiences of domestic/foreign institutions. However limited studies have been conducted to share knowledge of mapping learning outcomes for short-term online programs. The article proposes three types of matrices that are used to design short-term online courses and a maping process with seven steps. At each step of the process, concepts, related guidelines, and formatted templates are presented. The research results are some online courses designed based on learning outcomes and their matrices, these courses have been evaluated and implemented in practice with many positive feedbacks from learners.
