Title: Writing Effective Learning Outcomes

Presenter: Phil Verrill

Venue: Please report to DCQE Staff Development Room, First Floor (Mercantile House) for registration.

Please note: Mercantile House and Floor 1 are swipe access only. Please ensure you arrive promptly for the start of the session as we are not able to guarantee you will be able to access the building after this time. If you are unable to access the building please call 023 9284 3327.

As teachers we all have to write learning outcomes for our units and courses. But what does a good learning outcome look like? How does it relate to student learning? Are learning outcomes different at levels 4, 5 and 6? How do we write a good learning outcome that helps student understand what they have to do in order to succeed? These are some of the questions that we will explore in this session. It will be helpful if you can bring to the session some learning outcomes, at different levels, from your own units.

Please note that a £15 charge will be levied against University of Portsmouth Departments where a member of their staff has booked but not attended, unless DCQE has been notified of their absence at least 48 hours prior to the time of the event.
