Great resource, worth a reread.

learning outcomes should have 3 parts:

  • A statement of measurable performance
  • The context of how that performance should occur (and by what medium, oral, written?)
  • Standards to assess the performance

Goes on to have a great summary of outcomes based on Revision Of Blooms Taxonomy-Anderson

Exhibit 2.1 is a great breakdown of different kinds of learning outcomes and how to measure them. Includes more esoteric learning outcomes such as affective (emotions) and ethical. Altogether: cognitive, psychomotor, affective, social, and ethical.

Sequence your outcomes, see subgoal learning

Chapter 26

Very direct list of possible exam questions, along with pros and cons for each question type.

Chapter 12

Argues that you shouldn’t give out all your lecture notes, but rather a skeletal outline that students fill out.
