Communication with Southern New Hampshire University using Information Mapping© Techniques

This is an announcement that I created to outline and describe the week 1 assignments for my 200-level Contemporary Health students. I have taught this health course numerous times, both in-person and via an asynchronous virtual platform (Blackboard and Brightspace).

I have recently been certified through Information Mapping© for the foundations of information mapping and for mastering successful policies and procedures using FSProTM. I used those skills to improve the communication with my students last term. The consistency, clarity, and relevance of the information mapping method dovetails with many of the adult learning principles, specifically with self-direction and goal achievement. For instance, adult students can be more effective and efficient learners when they have quick access to the resources and information they need to successfully produce each deliverable.

Announcement from recent Southern New Hampshire University course

Above is another example of an announcement I posted in Southern New Hampshire University’s Brightspace to communicate with my students about a paper rewrite opportunity in the 200-level Contemporary Health course. I posted this as I was learning about information mapping, but had not completed the certifications. Many of the students have not written a scientific paper in a few years or decades for some. As you can see from this announcement, I have used my experience to provide guidance and resources to maximize student success.
