Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes are the primary skills, behaviors, abilities, expertise, and proficiencies the learner will “own” at the end of the course. While the learner will need a certain level of knowledge or information in order to achieve the outcome, the emphasis in identifying the outcomes is on what the learner will be able to do with that knowledge or information at the end of the course that they couldn’t do before.
