Aligning Program, Course, and ClassObjectives / Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of This Presentation
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will beable to:
1.Explain what a program, course,and class objectives/outcomes are.
2.Understand the various learningactivities that can be effectively used in anin the Applied Technologies in order to
achieve the designed outcomes / objectives.
3.Develop a program, course and classoutcomes at a selected learning level.

Example :
Assess the progress made incompleting all installation ofelectrical wiring and conduit.
Assess their professionalresponsibility in compliance,safety and efficiency.
“The essential competencies the learner must possess atthe completion of the program”
Program Outcomes
Course Objectives / Outcomes
8
Example (based on the Programoutcomes):
Demonstrate the ability toeffectively interpret the electricalconstruction drawings for thepurpose of developing anefficient schedule for completionof the project.
Course Objectives: Represent the overarching purpose of the course. Theyspeak to the general course goals.
Course Outcomes: Articulate course objectives and are behavioral innature as they represent activities students will perform to demonstratetheir ability to understand and apply concepts learned.

Examples (based on CourseObjectives/Outcomes):
At the conclusion of this lesson, thestudents will be able to:
Locate and properly install alllight switches called for on thedrawings.
Demonstrate the ability toconnect the wires to the correctterminals.
Faculty articulate learning objectives for specific lessons that compose aunit, project, or course, or they may determine learning objectives for eachday they instruct students.
