Once you have practiced composing PLOs or CLOs, the task of writing MLOs (Module Learning Outcomes) may feel easier. Some elements to consider when crafting MLOs are...

NARROW FOCUS: The list of MLOs represents the component skills required to achieve the CLOs. These are more detailed in nature, focusing on individual tasks or achievements that build up to one or more CLOs. The number of MLOs per module may vary widely among disciplines, but 3-10 MLOs per module might be a reasonable range to aim for. As you did with PLOs and/or CLOS, be sure to write the learning outcomes as statements using action verbs to describe what students will think, know, or do.

ALIGNMENT: When updating your MLOs in the Division Course Syllabus, make sure module headings in the Division Course Syllabus indicate which CLOs are aligned with each module. Check to make sure that all of the CLOs are addressed and fully supported by the MLOs.

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY: Whether or not you are a proponent of using artificial intelligence (AI), you may have encouraged your students to proceed with caution when using apps like ChatGPT. These digital devices are still learning to produce accurate or reliable responses to human prompts. In an effort to "teach" ChatGPT what Rose State College would consider appropriate learning outcomes, Professor Steve Fowler has developed a tool for ChatGPT to assist in constructing MLOs based on your existing CLOs. If you're into that sort of thing, you can click this link to explore the product. Just remember, YOU are the subject matter expert. This tool may help by giving you a place to start, but you are equipped to refine and clarify the suggested outcomes to meet RSC's standards of quality.
