Curriculum design is the process of creating an organizational plan for education professionals to use in their class. It involves the deliberate organization of curriculum within a course or classroom. The process of curriculum design includes several steps, such as analysis, design, selecting, formation, and review. The purpose of curriculum design is to help educators at postsecondary institutions meet the needs of their students. The different types of curriculum design include subject-centered design, learner-centered design, and problem-centered design. The curriculum design process entails planning activities, readings, lessons, and assessments designed to achieve educational goals. Curriculum designers map content to learning objectives, including how to develop a course outline and build the course. They also ensure that each learning objective is met with assessment strategies, exercises, content, subject matter analysis, and interactive activities. Curriculum designers should be familiar with methods of both creating and maintaining web-based curriculum materials, as online curricula and computer-based learning tools are becoming increasingly common at all levels of education.
