Learning Outcome Management System

Some queries supported by this tool Which
outcomes from this course contribute to a
specific COB Core outcome? Which COB Core
outcomes does this course contribute to through
its outcomes? What are all the outcomes this
course used to have but are no longer current?
Do any courses rely on this outcome as a
prerequisite? Does this course need a
prerequisite skill that is not fulfilled by any
current COB course? Which prerequisites does
this course have? For which courses is this
course a prerequisite? How well does this
course outcome prepare students for subsequent
courses?
Learning Outcome Management System This is a
Windows application that interacts with a
database to manage learning outcomes for College
of Business courses. Each course has specific
learning outcomes that detail the focus of the
course and what students will be able to do after
completing the course. The information recorded
about each outcome includes the following
EMPHASIS How strongly does
the course focus on the outcome?
ASSESSMENT How do we know students
successfully achieve the outcome?
ACCOMPLISHMENT How accomplished are the
students skills in subsequent courses?
PREREQUISITE Which follow up courses
rely on the skills acquired in this course? This
tool uses the database to track any changes made
to this information and new outcomes added or old
ones dropped. It also tracks a network of
prerequisite courses and their requirements. Indi
vidual course outcomes contribute to one or more
of 13 College of Business Core Learning Outcomes,
which are broader definitions of what a student
can do upon completion of a business degree.
Keeping a history of the changes and additions
made to the individual course learning outcomes
and the College of Business Core outcomes helps
us understand how the degree program develops
over time and to make effective changes to meet
current and future industry demands.
