L E A R N I N G O U T C O M E S
• Big picture goals
• Skill, knowledge or
ability targets
• 4 to 8 outcomes
L E A R N I N G O B J E C T I V E S
• Mastery of outcomes
• Measurable activities
• 4 to 5 objectives per
outcome
3.
4. LEARNING OUTCOMES
THINK BACKWARDS
Focus on desired
knowledge & skills
of student
ZOOM OUT
Zoom out to the
core aspects of
the subject
CONSIDER
INFLUENCES
Consider other
factors that
affect outcomes
4 TO 8
OUTCOMES
5. THINK BACKWARDS
Determine DESIRED RESULTS of student
knowledge, performance, ability and/or attitude
• What are the big ideas?
• What enduring understandings are important?
• What content is worthy of learning?
• What should learners take away?

6. ZOOM OUT
Sequence learning events with BROAD VIEW being
first
• Zoom out to general and fundamental level
• Choose a few core aspects of the subject
• Ensure aspects are interrelated

7. CONSIDER INFLUENCES
Factors that influence the formation of learning
outcomes
• Program and institutional goals
• Industry demands
• Student characteristics and prior learning
• Good teaching and learning practices
• Your notion of learning
8. Think
Backwards
Zoom Out
COURSE: INTRODUCTION TO MANAGEMENT
Influences
• Explore the many
roles of managers
within an
organization
• Business field
• Trends in business
& management
• Environmental
movement
• College business
program goals
• Students lack of
management
experience
• Real-world learning
• Impact of external
changes, such as
globalization and
environmental
concerns
EXAMPLE
LEARNING OUTCOME

11. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
MEASURE IT
Choose evidence to
measure the objective
has been met
CAMERA, ACTION!
Determine
action students
must take to
achieve the
objective
4 TO 5
OBJECTIVES
per
OUTCOME
ZOOM IN
Zoom in one or
two levels to the
details of the
subject
12. ZOOM IN
Sequencing of learning events to move to next level of
detail
• Zoom in/drill down ONE or TWO LEVELS of subject
• This level is the subparts of the whole picture
• More detailed but not as much as learning activities
or assessments
