Feedback on Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)

Cover Sheet

Helen Butcher, Senate Office

 
Brief description of the paper 

In submitting its programme proposals to the Semester 2 PAG in March 2014, the College of Social Sciences also provided some feedback from the Learning and Teaching Centre regarding (i) the presentation of ILOs on programme specifications, and, (ii) previous PAG feedback on the formulation of ILOs and the verbs used in them.

The feedback from Learning & Teaching Centre is provided in full in this paper. In addition, the current Guidance documents circulated to PAG members prior to the PAG meetings is also provided for information (see Annex 1).

The feedback assumes that there has been formal agreement that certain verbs have been disallowed in the construction of ILOs which is not the case.

Action Requested 

ASC is invited to consider the feedback provided and to provide comment. ASC is also invited to consider:

(i) Whether the structure of the presentation of ILOs on the programme specification should be reviewed by the Programme and Course Approval Working Group (PCAWG); and,

(ii) Any action which could be taken to ensure greater consistency in the feedback on ILOs provided by PAGs.

Recommended Person/s responsible for taking action(s) forward 

Senate Office will take forward any agreed actions.
