This keynote will enable you to determine, write, and assess high-value student learning outcomes/objectives for your program or curriculum, where “high-value” means what potential employers need and want from your graduates. Ensure that your students achieve your program outcomes by identifying the courses that teach the content and skills in these outcomes, and then incorporating learning activities that should prepare students to achieve these outcomes. Along the way, we will examine 1) the nature of well-formulated, assessable learning outcomes, 2) an approach to program design that lays out the students’ learning process, and 3) guidelines for selecting learning activities and designing assessments. Be prepared to reflect on your current programs and work with your program team to plan modifications.
