CDF Workshop: Learning Outcomes as Blueprints for Design
May 15, 2024 at 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
| Location: | Online |
| Cost: | Free |
Most simply defined, learning outcomes describe what learners are supposed to know, be able to do, or value at the end of a course or module. In the same way that we tell students that their papers should have an argument or thesis statement that guides what they write, effective learning outcomes should guide what you include in your course.
Learning outcomes should direct your course, but they also guide students – they are written from the students’ perspective and include action verbs. They tell students what the course priorities are and that they are responsible for actively pursuing these priorities.
The goal of this workshop is to provide you with the tools for developing clear and measurable learning outcomes. At the end of this session, you will be able to:
- Explain the relationship between learning outcomes and course design
- Explain Bloom’s taxonomy as well as the process for evaluating learning outcomes
- Write learning outcomes using taxonomy
- Evaluate learning outcomes for specificity, measurability, and attainability
This session is intended for all participants who are involved in designing learning experiences, in any delivery format.
Space is limited. Please register in advance by filling out the form below.
This is part of Course Design Fundamentals, offered by TLS. Participants who complete five workshops and a guided reflection of the experience will receive a letter of completion to include in their teaching dossier.

“The journey through these (CDF) workshops has been transformative, reshaping my educational approach in profound ways. The insights I’ve gained have not only helped me become a better educator but have also changed how I think about teaching effectively. As I step into each classroom, I am prepared with strategies that empower students to become active participants in their learning journey.” (CDF program participant)
