Draft

An instructional curriculum map (ICM) is an instructional design methodology developed by Gagné et al. (this needs verification) to plan the structure of a large learning module, i.e. a course.

The principle

Draft

Just roughly (for the moment):

Course

At course general we define general objectives to reach
A course is divided into units

Unit

Each unit is firstly designed in terms of a rather general goal to attain (enabling objective)
Then, activities (teacher, learner) are defined in terms of subgoals to reach. Some also may rely on other input (e.g. previous knowledge, other courses)
Each subgoal becomes a sub-unit if necessary
For sub-unit design, see methods like nine events of instruction

Instructional design methods and models that include ICMs

Most Instructional systems designs, e.g. Dick and Carey's Systematic Design of Instruction
MISA, is a more complex model that pushes all analysis steps very far.
Typical lessons planning methods also include some form of ICM.
