Adding/Deleting Mapping to objectives at the course level will then assign/eliminate the same mapping to each of the sessions/events with relationships to the course objective.
How to Attach Mapping(s) to Course Objectives

Other Types of Mapping(s)
There are other types of mapping besides objective mapping. Currently the other lists primarily used in Acuity One45 are:
- Assessment Methods Mapping
This allows us to map the session to the assessment type (if applicable). This mapping shows up before the name of the session in One45’s Schedule. These are added into One45 through import, but can be adjusted on the session level and/or within the schedule.
2. Instructional Methods Mapping
Instructional mapping is like assessment mapping. Instructional method mapping is primarily used in the schedule to describe the type of learning activity students will be engaging with. These are added into One45 through import, but can be adjusted on the session level and/or within the schedule.
