Types of learning outcomes

• Bloom’s taxanomy

• K, U, A, A, S, E

• Can you recall what are these items.

• In an effectively designed course, all course components defined as learning objectives, activities, and assessments should be aligned.

• Stay focused on the learners while asking yourself the following:

• What will your students be able to do after your course that they cannot do now?

• What activities can you facilitate for students to learn better?

• How will they show you that they know it?
