Learner Outcome Reminders
When formulating your learner outcomes, remember they should be clear statements of the anticipated results to be achieved through an educational activity, focusing primarily on what participants are expected to learn as a result of attending that specific educational activity. Learner outcomes describe an observable behavior that the learner will be able to demonstrate as a result of the learning experience.
Learner outcomes should finish the following sentence: “Upon completion, participants will be able to…” To finish this sentence, follow with a measurable action verb (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) such as: describe, demonstrate, solve, identify, compare, contrast, evaluate, prepare, summarize, and write. Verbs to avoid: know, understand, learn, comprehend, and believe.
Appropriate Terminology for Promotional Materials
In addition to the required logo and paragraph, CE Providers often reference the type(s) of approved continuing education being offered for the course. When offering Academy CEUs, it is appropriate to state, for example, “.2 CEUs” or “.2 Continuing Education Units”. It is not appropriate to use the terms “credits” or “accredited.” If you have questions on the text for your materials or need the CE Logo, contact us.
