Module Outcomes (MOs)

Definition and Purpose

Module outcomes are specific, measurable statements that define what students will achieve by the end of a module. MOs are enabling outcomes that support the achievement of course outcomes. All course content (assessments, assignments, activities, learning materials) must be mapped to MOs.

Key Characteristics

Quantity

Write 3-5 outcomes per module (in a 3-credit course).

Alignment

Each MO should clearly support one or more course outcomes.

Cognitive Level

An MO should not be higher on Bloom’s Taxonomy than the CO it supports.
