Learning<\/h2>\r\n

Learning Outcomes<\/h3>\r\nLet us say that you have already developed clear student-centred learning outcomes. They are action-based, measurable, and based on the development of skills, attitudes, or knowledge; and, they are framed by the necessary conditions for their achievement. Take a side quest on learning outcomes<\/a>, if needed.\r\n\r\nRefer to the learning outcomes listed on your syllabus. Describe how you intend for the open textbook to support your learning outcomes. Some open textbooks include learning outcomes meant to complement the measurable and conditional outcomes found in a well-designed course syllabus. For example, the introductory sections in Quantitative Research Methods for the Applied Human Sciences <\/em><\/a>outline the learning outcomes. From chapters two and seven in Quantitative Methods, <\/em>note how these learning outcomes are action-based and specific.\r\n
