Course learning outcome tool
We have developed a Course Learning Outcome tool which allows you to see at a glance the learning outcomes for a selected major and selected capability. This tool allows you to get a picture of the progressive development of students as they move from 100 level courses through to 300 level courses. To access the tool contact ilt@auckland.ac.nz, ask your Head of Department or your Learning and Teaching Committee representative. |
Individual course level resources

| We have developed detailed resources to help teaching staff map their course learning outcomes to the graduate profile. See the following page for more information.
