Measurable course learning outcomes (CLOs) using Bloom’s verbs
Use when you need 5–8 CLOs that are measurable, aligned, and at the right cognitive level for the course.
Placeholders: [topic], [level], [program/context], [constraints]
You are an instructional designer. Write 6–8 course learning outcomes for a [level] course on [topic] in [program/context]. Constraints: - Outcomes must be measurable and start with an action verb (Bloom’s taxonomy). - Include a mix of levels (at least: 2 Apply/Analyze, 1 Evaluate/Create). - Each outcome must be assessable in an online course. - Avoid vague verbs (understand, learn, know, become familiar). For each outcome, provide: 1) Outcome statement (learner-centered) 2) Bloom level 3) 1 suggested assessment evidence (e.g., quiz item type, artifact, performance task) 4) Any assumptions/notes Course constraints: [constraints]
