We have workshops that can help you write good learning outcomes within your Subjects.
23 March 2020, Writing Good Learning Outcomes. 1pm, Faculty of Arts and Education and Faculty of Science.
What is a good learning outcome? Why would we rewrite the ones we have already? Writing assessment tasks to align with learning outcomes can identify that the learning outcomes need to be rewritten. Are they too vague, or too prescriptive? How many is too many? How do you get them changed anyway? Explore the answers to these questions, or bring your own. This workshop is an opportunity to work through what needs to be in a good learning outcome.
24 March 2020, Writing Good Learning Outcomes. 1pm, Faculty of Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences.
