Linking learning outcomes and topics across the undergraduate curriculum

The Harvard Initiative for Learning and Teaching (HILT) welcomed guest speaker Karen Willcox, MIT Professor of Aeronautics & Astronautics, and over 40 attendees to its Scholar to Practitioner Speaker Series on January 26, 2016. In addition to her research pursuits, Willcox is active in education innovation (biography).

Her talk, entitled “Linking Learning Outcomes and Topics across the Undergraduate Curriculum,” focused on curriculum mapping – the appropriateness of the talk location in room B-30 next to the maps section of Lamont Library did not go unnoticed! – and addressed the benefits and possible applications of three relevant platforms developed by her team.
