Set up Learning Outcomes

Enable the Learning Outcomes tool

You can access the Standards Coverage gauge, View Standards features, and import standards from the Achievement Standards Network (ASN) by enabling the Learning Outcomes tool in the Organization Tools.

The Learning Outcomes tool.

This is the paper note and pencil icon used for notes.

Note: Remember to not disable the Competencies tool in your environment. Even if you plan to only use the Learning Outcomes tool, there are many dependencies between the Competencies tool and the Rubrics tool in the current settings. Disabling the Competencies tool prevents you from attaching rubrics to your assignments and could cause other issues.

Customize the language term

To customize the language term used to describe learning outcomes, set the d2l.Languages.Terminology.LearningOutcomes configuration variable to one of the available options Standards, Competencies, Expectations, Objectives, or Outcomes.
