Student-Centered Learning Outcomes
Dr. Lorin W.
Anderson, Carolina
Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of South Carolina

Description
If there was just one thing you would want your students to learn
from your course, what would that be? This single question is the
basis for identifying student-centered learning outcomes. Learning
outcomes describe the measurable skills, abilities, knowledge or
values that students should be able to do or demonstrate as a result
of completing a program of study, a course or lesson.
This seminar focused on:
 |
The common structure of learning
outcomes |
|
|
Deriving instructional strategies
|
|
|
Complimentary responsibilities of
faculty and students in achieving learning outcomes
|
You know what you expect your students
to learn. This seminar helped communicate these expectations to
your students.
