Learning outcomes
A learning outcome is a statement of what a learner is expected to know, understand or be able to do as a result of a learning process ―European Qualification Framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF)

Types of learning outcomes
Formulating learning outcomes
KnowledgeThe outcome of the assimilation of information through learning.
SkillsThe ability to apply knowledge and use know-how to complete tasks and solve problems.
Competence (personal and professional) The proven ability to use knowledge, skills and personal, social and/or methodological abilities.

Learning outcomes
Intended vs. achieved learning outcomes
The teacher defines the intended learning outcomes for a learning opportunityThe teacher assesses and learners demonstrate the achievement of intended learning outcomes
Formulating learning outcomes
enumerate the most influential politicians of the 20th century
Sentence structure of intended learning outcomes
An intended learning outcome is formulated as a sentence that follows a basic structure:
Learners are able to Verb Object
Describes intended (cognitive) process
Describes what students are expected to acquire
or construct
Formulating learning outcomes
Example:Learners are able to
What type of learning outcome is this?
Examples of learning outcomes and their type
Students are able to …
… explain the seven layers of the ISO/OSI Reference Model
… enumerate the most influential politicians of the 20th century
… design an interactive website that complies with Web Accessibility Guidelines
… filter out relevant literature for a given research problem.
… guide their team mates in improving the architectural model of a system.
… moderate a virtual task-force meeting

Methods Usability tests with predefined tasks Interviews Questionnaires
Results Linking learning outcomes to learning opportunities and learning designs was
found innovative Tools can help teachers focus on intended learning outcomes when
creating/customizing courses Making learning outcomes transparent to learners and is a strength
Recommendations and Future Directions Adopt standards and put them in real practice
Extend when needed Make recommendations
Advise new specification when there is really no specification that fits your purpose
Outcome-based functionalities should be implemented as easy to use extensions/plugins to exsiting LMS
Training is needed for quicker adoption Make more learning outcomes available Publish Learning Opportunities Compare what is in job profiles and what is in learner achieved
