1. Student Learning Outcomes (SLO)
Set by Departments, course SLOs are essential to planning a course. The course SLOs provide guidance for the development of all course elements, including assessments, learning activities, pedagogies, and other course materials.
Note:
Course Student Learning Outcomes are set by Departments and should not be altered.
| Before the Course Starts |

|
1.1 Review the course Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for relevancy and current alignment to the course content and materials. |
|
1.2 Ensure that the SLOs are observable and measurable, meaning students can demonstrate the SLOs in the course, and it is possible to assess a student demonstrating that learning. |
|
1.3 Create enabling objectives (module/weekly/unit objectives), ensuring they directly support and align with one or more SLO. |
|
1.4 Verify all course materials and resources align with and support one or more SLO. |
|
1.5 Confirm all SLOs are being assessed, and at an appropriate cognitive level for the course (Bloom’s Taxonomy ). |
|
1.6 Incorporate diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) into SLOs and enabling objectives to ensure a welcoming and affirming learning environment for all students. |
