Why have Learning Outcomes?
• Clarity, fairness• Increased student motivation• Relevant teaching methods/learning methods• Strategic and relevant assessment• Accessibility – AODA and accommodations• Intentional teaching• Better Learning

Why have the GDLEs?
• Ensure consistency across universities• Establish a common language• Set a basic threshold for quality• Potential for improved quality of learning• This requires more than learning outcomes• Process for enhancement

ExamplesHigher Education:• evaluate educational theories and
approaches, particularly as they relate to the cultural, political and institutional contexts of higher education.
Masters Computer Science:• review and assess the applicability of project-
related techniques

ExamplesMasters Social Work:• formulate research questions, undertake
research, and evaluate research outputs within the discipline, but also within an interdisciplinary context.
PhD Social Work:• competently conduct independent research
using at least one research paradigm (mixed, qualitative, or quantitative).

Assessments and Methods• Demonstrate learning outcomes have been
met• International trends: UK, Australia, Bologna

Questions
• What really matters in graduate education?• Is anything missing from the GDLEs?
• What issues have you faced in designing learning outcomes for the graduate level?
• What concerns do you have about GDLEs?• Do the UDLEs prepare students for graduate
school?• How can you assess whether relevant
outcomes are met?12
