Starting Off Right Engaging Activities for Kick-Starting the Development of Learning Outcomes Presenter: Kim Woodruff Director of Instructional Design, Manhattan College

Learning Objectives Discuss the writing of effective learning outcomes as a critical and rewarding step in the course design process Use Bloom's Taxonomy and accompanying activities as tools for developing course learning outcomes and for facilitating this process with others Explore strategies for maintaining alignment between learning outcomes, course activities, instructional materials and assessments and for facilitating alignment with others

Background The activities described in this presentation were developed as part of the first workshop in a series of four workshops required for online and hybrid course designers Prior to this first workshop, course designers are asked to identify the general course goals (usually already in existence) and identify topic names for the 7 weeklong modules The course development model used is a backward design approach The first workshop focuses on the writing or learning outcomes and identifying assessment strategies Courses are generally 7 weeks long and learning outcomes are written for each weeklong module

Course Content Considerations Step 1: The Warm-up Activity: Course Content Considerations How it works Course designers participate in a quick write warm-up activity consisting of prompts about their course’s “content”

Step 1: The Warm-up Why it works Course designers get to think, write and talk about the curriculum and assessment for their course in a non-threatening and familiar way It helps course designers to think about the course in terms of “takeaways” rather than just “content” It sets the stage for writing learning outcomes It helps the instructional designers learn more about each course and what is important to the course designers

Step 2: Getting to Know Bloom’s Activity: Verb Sort How it works After a brief overview of Bloom’s Taxonomy, course designers sort verbs into the appropriate level category Course designers discuss and debate their findings with other workshop participants

Step 2: Getting to Know Bloom’s Why it works Course designers get to interact with the levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy in a meaningful way Course designers gain an appreciation of the importance of nuance in selecting verbs for learning outcomes; that verbs can be understood differently within different contexts and choosing the best possible verb will help clarify the meaning of their learning outcomes

Step 3: Bloom’s as a Tool Activity: Verb Wish-List How it works Course designers are given an extensive list of verbs categorized according to Bloom’s taxonomy Using a highlighter, course designers select a “wish-list” of verbs to create a “verb pool” they can choose from when writing learning outcomes Course designers reflect on the verbs selected and the levels of Bloom’s taxonomy that are represented

Step 3: Bloom’s as a Tool Why it works Course designers become familiar with a useful tool for writing learning outcomes Course designers are given a “head-start” for the actual writing of learning outcomes Course designers think carefully about what they want their students to do as part of the course Course designers see a visual representation of how their course fits within Bloom’s taxonomy and have an opportunity to reflect on this before proceeding with the writing of the specific learning outcomes

Step 4: Drafting Outcomes Activity: Whole Group Practice How it works Course designers practice writing learning outcomes based on the workshop activities they have participated in Course designers use their verb “wish-list” to draft outcomes for the first week of their course

Step 4: Drafting Outcomes Activity: Writing Week 1 Outcomes How it works Course designers practice writing learning outcomes based on the workshop activities they have participated in Course designers use their verb “wish-list” to draft outcomes for the first week of their course

Step 4: Drafting Outcomes Why it works Course designers see how outcomes relate to something that they have experienced Course designers have an opportunity to practice before working on their own Instructional designers can intervene if any course designers are on the wrong track How it works Course designers practice writing learning outcomes based on the workshop activities they have participated in Course designers use their verb “wish-list” to draft outcomes for the first week of their course

Step 5: Identify Assessments Activity: Assessment Wish-List How it works Course designers use highlighters to select assessment strategies they are interested in using from a list of options

Step 5: Identify Assessments Activity: Matching Assessments and Outcomes How it works Course designers identify which assessment strategy they will use for each of the learning outcomes they have written

The second workshop focuses on strategies for delivering content and strategies for providing opportunities for students to engage with content and practice skills

Step 5: Identify Assessments Why it works Course designers see first hand how the backward design process works Assessments are identified early-on in the process and are not something to be dreaded Alignment issues between outcomes and assessments are avoided
