Get started with learning outcomes

You or a section instructor with Assignments privilege can do all of the following.

• Assess class results for each learning outcome throughout the term.
• Create, edit, or remove learning outcomes anytime during the course.
• Copy learning outcomes from other courses without needing to enter them individually.
• Print or export learning outcomes from the Gradebook.

You can also print or export other results (scores, time, and difficulty data) from the Gradebook for your own use or to incorporate into reports for your department or administration.

1. Select Course Settings.
2. Scroll down to the Learning Outcomes section and select Show Me the List of Learning Outcomes Provided for this Course. Not all textbooks have provided outcomes.
   

   You can also choose to add/edit your own learning outcomes or to copy your learning outcomes from another course.

3. When you create or edit assignments, select content that can measure the learning outcomes you want to assess.

   If outcomes are provided, filter assignable items by their associated outcomes, and then select items accordingly.

4. Specify outcomes for items that don't have provided outcomes, or change the associated outcomes at any time.
5. As students complete assignments, assess student results by viewing the cumulative  Learning Outcomes Summary from the Gradebook.
6. Print or export learning outcomes and results for your own use or to incorporate into reports for your department or administration.

For learning outcomes results for a single attempt to solve each question and no hints, use the Quiz or Test category for the assignment. These results may provide a better assessment of student gains. For greatest accuracy, get as close as possible to 100% student completion rates for learning outcome items.
