📌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)

✔️ Action-Oriented Verbs

  • Create (Create interactive web pages…)

  • Design (Design a mobile-friendly UI…)

  • Develop (Develop a content marketing strategy…)

  • Implement (Implement responsive layouts…)

  • Write (Write clean JavaScript code…)

  • Analyze (Analyze user behavior in digital marketing…)

  • Optimize (Optimize database queries for speed…)

  • Apply (Apply SEO best practices…)

  • Master (Master financial modeling techniques…)

✔️ Proficiency-Based Adjectives

  • Proficient in (Proficient in applying graphic design principles…)

  • Skilled at (Skilled at using data visualization tools…)

  • Experienced in (Experienced in cloud computing services…)

  • Capable of (Capable of structuring a scalable backend…)

  • Fluent in (Fluent in Python for automation tasks…)
