🎧 Episode 9: “Beyond the Tick Box: Why Curriculum Mapping Isn’t Evidence of Learning”

In this episode of Echoes of Learning and Teaching, we take a closer look at a practice often celebrated in higher education — curriculum mapping — and ask whether alignment truly equals learning. Drawing on the Substack post “Beyond the Tick Box: Why Curriculum Mapping Isn’t Evidence of Learning”, we question if our neatly aligned frameworks are giving us a false sense of assurance.

We’ll explore questions like:

• When do students actually demonstrate the course learning outcomes that define their degree?
• Are we mistaking mapped alignment for authentic evidence of learning?
• What would it mean to move from tick-box compliance to meaningful demonstration — from mapping to meaning?

Join us as we unpack how curriculum design can go beyond coherence on paper and toward coherence in practice — where the assurance of learning isn’t found in spreadsheets, but in what students can do, create, and articulate as graduates.
