Learning Outcomes

📂 #2: Identify Topics

For each Learning Outcome, come up with Topics & Key Points to help Learners achieve the given Outcome.

1. Create relevant Topics to support each Outcome. Many of the existing topics will likely stay the same. Create ONE topic per row. Double-click in any cell to edit it. To add Topics, click ‘Add New Topic’ to add a new topic to the list. Don’t worry about keeping these in order. You can do that later. Click ‘Delete Topic’ to remove a Topic from the list.

2. Add Key Points. Just a bulleted list is enough to make it easier to create your talking points and learning assets later.

Pro Tip: Click double-sided arrow to expand table cell for more space.

3. Add new Topics. Click ‘Add New Topic’ to add a new topic to the list. Don’t worry about keeping these in order. You can do that later. Click ‘Delete Topic’ to remove a Topic from the list.

Pro Tip: Reuse & repurpose content as much as you can. Identify existing courses, videos, articles, or slide presentations as a basis for your Topics. Why reinvent the wheel, when you focus on making it better?

Find as many Available Resource & Asset Links per Topic as possible

1. Click ‘Add New Resource’ to create a new Resource List for each Topic. This is a good way to capture any research you’ve done on a Topic and saves you time when you’re ready to develop your content outlines and scripts.

2. Select one of the Topics in the ‘Topic’ field and copy and paste a URL in the ‘Resource Link’ field.

Pro Tips:

* Add a ‘Resource Type’ so you can quickly browse your resources list next time you return to this page to refer to your list.

🗄️ #3: View & Organize Topics into Sessions

Move Topics around by dragging and dropping them into different sessions.

Pro Tips:

* Each session must always contain at least ONE topic, so if a session disappears, simply click ‘Add New Session & Topic’, then double-click the ‘Session’ field to rename it.

* The number of topics each week depends on your average Session Time—which may vary with each course, so you may need to go back to Step #1 above to reduce or increase the number of Topics. Some universities use the following guideline:

* 50-min for classes that meet 3 times/week

* 75-min for classes that meet 2 times/week

* 2h 45min for classes that meet once/week
