  4. Definition: Outcome Mapping “…a two-dimensional data recording tool that facilitates the assignment of…outcomes… to core program courses… while identifying the level at which the outcomes are addressed in each course (at the intersection of columns and rows).” Veltri, Natasha F.; Webb, Harold W.; Matveev, Alexei G.; Zapatero, Enrique G. (2011, March 22). Curriculum mapping as a tool for continuous improvement of IS curriculum The Free Library. (2011).
