Know Where You're Going: Using Learning Outcomes to Drive Course Development

Workshop Description:

In this hands-on workshop we will focus on writing effective learning outcomes and using them to drive your course development to produce a high quality course. We will look at both three part and five part learning outcomes in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. While some sample materials will be available, having some of your own course material with which to work, and perhaps share with others, will be useful.
