Aligning Learning Outcomes with Assignments
In Brightspace, instructors can
add their learning outcomes and align them to assignments and grading rubrics.
For information about how to add learning outcomes to your course, see the
article Adding Learning Outcomes to a Course. Follow the instructions below to align your learning outcomes
with assignments in your course.
1. In your course, select
"Course Activities" and "Assignments."
2. Either select "New
Assignment" (if you are starting from scratch) or select the caret next to
the assignment title and click "Edit Assignment."
3. Under the title of the
assignment, you will see a link to "Outcomes." Click that link and
select which outcomes you would like to align to the assignment. Scroll down in
the pop-up box to click "Save." (Note: you will first need to add
Learning Outcomes to your course. You can do that by following these
instructions: Adding Learning Outcomes to a Course).
4. When students view the
assignment, they will be able to see the Learning Outcomes you have aligned.
This is a great way to help them understand what they should be able to do upon
completing the assignment, and it helps them connect the assignment with the
larger outcomes for the course as a whole!
