 outcomes are useful for measuring learning. The concept of outcomes can be used interchangeably with goals or competencies for example. To access outcomes logged in as either the administrator or teacher in a course, go to the settings block, course administration, outcomes. There may or may not be some standard or global outcomes that have been added and made available by the assistive administrator across all courses. In any case, a teacher can come into a course and add their own outcomes. So you click on this page, edit outcomes. Let's add a new outcome. So we give the outcome a full name, a short name which may be some sort of code and then we can align the outcome with a scale. It could be a standard or a custom scale that may already exist or could be added. So when it comes time to grade and assess work, we can not only grade against scales, we can also assess against outcomes. So there we have it.
