I came across several papers that used scales to define a connection between Learning Outcomes (LOs) and the Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), for example using terms like “high, medium, and low”; or scale like 1 for low to 3 for high. How can we define a strong connection of LOs and CLOs? Is it based on the weight of the assessment for that LOs? Or is there any precise definition for this?
Dear Hans,
Personally, I think that there is no one universal definition for the connection between Learning Outcomes and Course Learning Outcomes. However, the best way to define a strong connection between them is to use a rubric or scale to assess the level of mastery of each Learning Outcome. Depending on the type of course, the rubric or scale can vary in complexity and detail, but should generally include criteria that correspond to the course’s expected Learning Outcomes. This allows both students and instructors to clearly assess how well students have achieved the Learning Outcomes and to better understand the overall performance of the course. Additionally, instructors can use the rubric or scale to track the progress of individual students and to measure the effectiveness of their teaching.
