Manage Outcomes

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Outcomes, other than those defined specifically for a program or course, can be created. These outcomes may be GenEd (institution internal) or External (e.g. agency defined).

 

General and external outcomes are managed in Outcome Sets, which in turn are managed in Outcome Groups.

A GenEd or external outcome can be linked to a course and/or field in a program assessment field set. A general outcome can also be included in a Curriculum Map.

 

You can create one or more Outcome Sets for a selected group. For example, under an external outcome group you might create two sets, "ABET Engineering 2015" and "ABET Computer 2015", within the "ABET" group.
