All Moodle Academy webinars

Learn how to develop clear, Intended Learning Outcomes for your courses and programs in this webinar led by Karen Shackleford-Cesare, from University College London (UCL).

Intended Learning Outcomes are short, clear statements that help students understand what they can expect to achieve at various stages throughout their learning journey. They enable course designers to ensure summative assessments test the desired learning has been achieved. Creating effective Intended Learning Outcomes is an important prerequisite in the design of learning activities and assessments, including within the ABC Learning Design process, which is used to develop short courses for Moodle Academy, as well as many other educational programs worldwide.

In this webinar we will explore:

• The purpose of learning outcomes.
• The difference between learning aims, objectives and outcomes.
• How learning outcomes are aligned to assessments.
• How to construct learning outcomes and make them SMART.
• Why to choose active verbs and avoid passive terms.
• What to do about hard to assess ‘outcomes’?
• The relationship between course and program learning outcomes.
• The distinctive qualities and importance of learning outcomes for a program of short courses.
