Webinar description: Participants will learn how to structure a logical, cohesive course around measurable student learning outcomes.

Linda B. Nilson of Clemson University will show you how to formulate clear, assessable learning outcomes; how to organize them chronologically into ultimate, mediating, and foundational categories; and how to create an outcomes map that will serve as the working skeleton for your course. You'll study and use three frameworks to organize your outcomes in a pedagogically logical way, and also create and populate a working outcomes map encompassing strategies and assessment.

The workshop will cover the teaching methods that, according to research, are among the most effective tools for preparing your students to achieve your outcomes and the best strategies for measuring how well they have achieved the desired outcomes.
