Introduction to Course Learning Outcomes

This video is from a workshop provided as part of the Teaching Resource Center (TRC) Teaching Resources and Workshops in October 2020. In this workshop, participants will have opportunities to learn about:

  • the basic aspects of outcomes-based education and learning outcomes

  • the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion on learner-centered teaching and the cultivation of a culture that empowers faculty through learning

  • developing and critiquing student learning outcomes in a course for a syllabus

Creating Impactful Learning Outcomes

Course Student Learning Outcomes Presentation

ILOxPLO Matrix Project 2020-21

CLASS is embarking on the development of an Institutional Learning Outcome Assessment Plan based on two conditions: (1) what we have learned from the first implementation of the ILO assessment plan on the quarter system and; (2) the semester assessment planning for PLO in both curricular and co-curricular programs. The first step in developing the plan is the development of a comprehensive ILOxPLO matrix. Please contact your CLASS representative for support and additional information or contact us AssessmentOffice@csusb.edu

Here is the link to matrix to complete and submit to your CLASS representative:

Planning

This module supports all kinds of reporting needs. Documents, spreadsheets, data visualizations, etc. may be archived in Documents for each organizational unit for each time period (i.e., academic year). Templates have been developed to support reporting needs within Plans. Plans and templates can be customized depending on the reporting needs of each organizational unit.
