Curriculum

« Back to Glossary Index

A curriculum is a detailed outline of modules and lessons for a specified course.

An essential element of any class, the curriculum explains when and how students will learn each concept through modules and lessons.

Curriculums can be broken down into lessons and modules for better organization.

For example:

  • The curriculum for the User Experience course includes modules on Introduction, Color, Composition, Key User Control Elements, Responsive and Mobile, Accessibility, and more.

Developing a detailed curriculum will help you and your students stay organized and meet the course objectives. As paying customers, your students will want to know what to expect. Sharing the course curriculum will help them prepare for your course!
