- Measurement of learning outcomes at the course level:
- Phase 1: Planning the measurement of course learning outcomes
- Phase 2: Implementing the measurement plan
- Phase 3: Preparing the course learning outcomes report and improvement plan
- Phase 4: Implementing the improvement plan
- Measurement of learning outcomes at the program level:
- Phase 1: Planning the measurement of program learning outcomes
- Phase 2: Implementing the measurement plan
- Phase 3: Preparing the program learning outcomes report and improvement plan
- Phase 4: Implementing the improvement plan
- Recording learning outcomes measurement results:
- Entering course-level results into the course report
- Entering program-level results into the program report
The workshop also included practical activities and interactive discussions on how to measure learning outcomes using the designated templates at both course and program levels. Participants were provided with training materials and supporting learning resources related to learning outcomes assessment.
