Use the checklist below to help you write ILOs for your course or units.
- Do the ILOs relate to the aims of the course/unit/learning activity?
- Have you discussed the ILOs with colleagues, learners or other stakeholders?
- Is the language of the ILOs unambiguous and understandable, particularly for learners?
- Is the balance of types of ILOs appropriate for your course/unit/activity?
- Are any UILOs too broad to be easily assessed?
- Will you be able to select assessment methods that truly enable students to demonstrate that
they have met the UILO? - Is the number of ILOs reasonable to assess (for you and the learners) for the size of unit?
- Have you avoided ILOs that are really assessment criteria?
- Have you avoided repetition of ILOs (you may have used different terms to mean the same thing)?
- Are the ILOs achievable within the timescale of the degree/unit?
- Are any ILOs too narrow, so as to be too restrictive?
- Are unit ILOs written at an appropriate level for the year of study?
- Do unit ILOs map to overall course ILOs?
