Targeted Outcomes for Mastery Learning

Canvas and other tools provide instructors the opportunity to target learning goals, check for understanding, and evaluate their instruction. This session addresses how to develop effective learning outcomes by selecting measurable verbs from the appropriate cognitive domains. These learning outcomes become the connection between what is taught, what is assessed (and how it is assessed), and what is ultimately learned. Once they are established, learning outcomes can be incorporated into Canvas, linked to assignments, and graded in a mastery learning grading scheme, thus providing educators with reliable data and granting more accountability to students in their learning
