Organized by Centre for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) and Faculty of Science

Abstract

Since HKU has embarked on outcome based learning, all programs have been asked to declare to students the program’s learning outcomes (PLOs) and course learning outcomes (CLOs) for the courses of the programs. This brief workshop will discuss the rationale behind and the practice of the design of observable and measurable outcomes, using Bloom’s taxonomy with examples currently found in our SIS and how to fine tune them. Challenges and issues faced in the design of PLOs will also be addressed and discussed.
