00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:13.280
Aims are concise descriptions of the overall purpose

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:14.019
of a program.

00:00:14.375 --> 00:00:17.095
They are like mission statements that encapsulate the

00:00:17.095 --> 00:00:18.715
scope and values of the offering.

00:00:19.494 --> 00:00:21.355
When defining aims, ask,

00:00:21.815 --> 00:00:23.675
from your perspective as the educator,

00:00:24.055 --> 00:00:25.835
what is the piece of learning for?

00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:28.260
What are the main benefits it will bestow

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:30.500
on learners in their current and future social

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:33.080
contexts? What is the program trying to achieve?

00:00:39.545 --> 00:00:43.725
Intended learning outcomes, ILOs, are concrete statements communicating

00:00:43.864 --> 00:00:45.385
what students will know and be able to

00:00:45.385 --> 00:00:46.745
do at the end of the program or

00:00:46.745 --> 00:00:47.245
module.

00:00:48.105 --> 00:00:49.964
They are not just a compliance requirement.

00:00:50.905 --> 00:00:52.984
They clarify the purpose of your program or

00:00:52.984 --> 00:00:56.120
module, inform curriculum design, teaching, and assessment,

00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:59.559
support student success by making expectations explicit,

00:00:59.860 --> 00:01:01.399
communicate quality to stakeholders,

00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:04.920
including students, employers, and accrediting bodies.

00:01:06.275 --> 00:01:08.515
This page provides guidance on how to write

00:01:08.515 --> 00:01:11.975
effective aims and intended learning outcomes with examples

00:01:12.034 --> 00:01:14.435
and further resources to support your thinking and

00:01:14.435 --> 00:01:14.935
development.
