Contextualizing Learning Outcomes: Designing + Aligning Assignments: Connecting learning outcomes to activities and assessments is an essential characteristic of high-quality learning experiences. This connection helps ensure all course components work together and are mutually reinforced so that learners are able to see the value of and feel motivated for what they are learning. Participants will explore a two-dimension approach to contextualize the learning outcomes in relation to content and cognitive processes. This approach will situate outcomes as an anchor that redefines the activities to engage learners in constructing meaning.
