Focus on Clear, Actionable Learning Outcomes
When publishing a curriculum, creators are asked to list up to five learning outcomes—clear, concise statements defining what learners will be able to do by the end of the course. Learning outcomes aren’t just a formality—they help attract the right learners, set clear expectations, and enhance your curriculum’s 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.
✅️ 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
Implement workflow automation for increased efficiency
Write SEO-optimized blog posts to boost web traffic
❌️ What to Avoid:
Understand web development (Too vague, lacks action)
Learn about web design techniques (Not outcome-driven)
Improve knowledge of UI/UX (Not measurable, lacks clarity)

Develop (Develop a content marketing strategy…)
Implement (Implement responsive layouts…)
Write (Write clean JavaScript code…)
Analyze (Analyze user behavior in digital marketing…)
