What's a Learning Outcome?
What's a Learning Outcome?
Learning outcomes* are focused on what the student/participant will be able to do upon completion of the course. As participants in this course, we have aligned the course learning outcomes with the specific activities and assignments that you will be engaging in. In week 2, we will dive deeper into this idea of alignment to consider how your course activities/assignments meet the course learning outcomes.
*Given that higher education does not have consensus about the differences or applications of the terms “learning outcome” and “learning objective”, they are often used interchangeably. For our purposes in this course we will use:
The term "learning outcome" when referring to what we want you to know and be able to do by the end of the course, e.g., the ones that refer to overall takeaways; and
The term "learning objective" when referring to the more granular, specific outcomes associated with the weekly/module activities, e.g., the ones you will see in the Weekly Overviews and within activities.
