Learning Objectives: Take Action

What Can Your Students Expect to Learn?

Learning Objectives need to be defined clearly and made readily available. This kind of transparency, whether applied at the program level, the course level, the unit level, or even the activity level significantly increases the likelihood that the student will succeed.

Learning Objectives Checklist

As you develop your course in Brightspace, be sure to use this checklist to review your incorporation of learning objectives/outcomes throughout the course. This checklist is based on the Quality Matters Specific Review Standards 2.1-2.5.

✓ The course learning objectives, or course/program competencies, describe outcomes that are measurable.
