Ensure courses align with learning outcomes and organisational goals

Set your learning outcomes and organisational goals and then clearly map them to content or courses, to ensure consistent strategic alignment every time.

What do we mean by outcomes and organisational goals?

Learning outcomes refer to the specific skills, knowledge, or competencies that learners are expected to achieve as a result of a learning experience or course. These outcomes are measurable and guide the design of content, assessments, and activities to ensure learners meet the desired objectives.

Organisational goals are the broader aims and objectives set to achieve a mission, improve performance, or drive growth. These goals often align with key business outcomes, such as increasing productivity, enhancing employee skills, or supporting overall strategic initiatives.
