Focus on Clear, Actionable Learning Outcomes
When publishing a curriculum, creators are asked to list up to five learning outcomesāclear, concise statements defining what learners will be able to do by the end of the course. Learning outcomes arenāt just a formalityāthey help attract the right learners, set clear expectations, and enhance your curriculumās credibility.
To convey the outcomes effectively:
Use a strong action-oriented verb (e.g., Create, Design, Implement) or a proficiency-based adjective (e.g., Proficient in, Skilled at).
Mention a specific skill or outcome that learners will acquire.
Ensure it is precise, measurable, and outcome-driven.
ā ļø Good Examples:
Create interactive digital art with Figma and Webflow
Develop full-stack web applications with React and Node.js
Analyze audience data to improve engagement

Learn about web design techniques (Not outcome-driven)
