Program review, curricular planning and learning outcomes development
University-wide learning outcomes
After conducting a thorough review of the learning outcomes (LO) initiatives already in place at UVic, the Senate Committee on Learning and Teaching updated the university-wide learning outcomes which were approved by Senate in 2014. You are encouraged to use these LOs as guide posts for developing program- and course-specific learning outcomes.
Program planning and review
There are a range of resources to support curriculum and program planning for academic units. Tips for the generation of program LOs are included. The Division of Learning and Teaching Support and Innovation (LTSI) Executive Director is available by request to facilitate retreats.
