Content Mapping

Link observation questions to eLearn courses so observers can assign a course from the question a teacher needs to grow on.

Content Mapping connects a question on your observation forms to a course in eLearn. Once a question is mapped, observers see a Require Course button on that question, so they can move a teacher from “here is what I saw” to “here is the course that builds this skill” without leaving the observation.

For example, a district might map its “Questioning prompts students to explain their thinking” walkthrough question to a course on questioning strategies. When a principal sees that a teacher’s questions stay at the recall level, the principal can assign the course during the walkthrough.

Role: system administrators. The page appears only when your district has both weCLIMB and eLearn.

Opening the page

What observers see

Section titled “What observers see”

On an observation or a performance review, a mapped question shows a Require Course button once the teacher being observed is chosen in User.

The Instruction section of a walkthrough form, where the question Questioning prompts students to explain their thinking shows a Require Course button and the unmapped question above it does not.

Clicking Require Course opens Assign Required Course, with:

  • Users Observed In Filter: the teacher being observed, filled in for you.
  • Products: the products mapped to that question.
  • Send notification to users observed?: set to Yes by default. The teacher gets an email and a push notification about the new course.

Click Assign Required Courses to finish. A course is assigned only if the teacher already has access to it through your district’s eLearn content. If a product is a bundle, the courses inside it are assigned too.

The Assign Required Course window with Rosa Vance in Users Observed In Filter, Questioning Strategies that Deepen Thinking in Products, Send notification to users observed? set to Yes, and Cancel and Assign Required Courses buttons.

The same Require Course button appears in the observation summary report on a mapped question that has responses, so an administrator can assign the course to every teacher in the report at once.
