COMMS (Course Outline Mapping and Management System) provides a web-based course outline editor for the creation of course outlines. COMMS will map course learning requirements against program standards (vocational, essential employability, general education as applicable). Those who are preparing course outlines are also prompted to ensure that the alignment between course learning requirements and evaluation tools is in place.
