Create learning outcomes

Fuzzy learning outcomes lead to fuzzy results, so spend some quality time clarifying what your learners should take away from the experience—starting with the end in mind.
Write out 2-3 learning outcomes to communicate what you want learners to be able to do after their learning experience. This page provides you with a fun, Mad Libs Styled way to create well-structured learning outcome statements based on the
A.B.C.D. Method
⁠
! Simply fill out each column in the
Learning Outcomes Builder
⁠
below and your learning outcome statement will auto-magically appear below.

SiNing’s Pro Tips

Align with goals - Again, keep the performance goal in mind by referring back to it on the
Broken link
⁠
page.
The
A.B.C.D. Method
⁠
consists of the following elements:
Audience: Who are your target Learners?
Behavior or Action: What do they need to be able to do?
Condition: Under what conditions or time limit? Anything they must include or exclude? Will support be provided?
Degree: What is the level of proficiency expected? Any quantifiable or qualitative measurement?
How many - It’s best to have no more than one learning outcome per one-hour, training session. Often people make the mistake of thinking that the more information we cram into a session, the more the learners will get out of it and the more equipped they will be. The truth is that the more focused a session is, the more effective is.
If you’re putting together a training curriculum with 2 or more one-hour sessions, come up with 3-4 learning outcomes on this page.
Value of outcomes - Remember to keep these Learning Outcomes in mind as you continue to develop your Learning Plan. They will guide you as you decide what topics to include and which activities might be the most effective use of time.
