Consult with an Instructional Designer
It's time to design a roadmap!
Not sure where to start or what support you may need? That is a perfect time to make time to meet with us to see how we may best assist you.
What may occur at a meeting
- One-on-One Sessions: You may have questions regarding an existing course that could include design and layout, accessibility, engagement, incorporating different emerging technologies or something else and you want a few meetings to work through these things to get your course where you want it.
- Foundations of Course Design: Through our meeting we may find that going through our prerequisite course, Foundations of Course Design (FCD), would be a great first step to reach your course development goals.
- Course Development or Refresh: If you have already taken FCD and want to talk about beginning course development or refresh, we can walk you through applying for funding for that and get approval.
- Program or Department Training: You can meet with an instructional designer to discuss personalized trainings for your department focusing on accessibility, formalizing LMS design and layout for your program, or wanting a specialized session in our Fusion Lab.
Interested in moving forward?
Schedule a consultation, and one of our team members will be happy to support you in your course endeavors. If you just have a few questions or want to talk shop, feel free to drop us a line or stop by the ATC in CEN 208.
Deeper Dive–Learning Outcomes
Lane has several resources already available to assist faculty who want a head-start on course development. You will need to be logged into Moodle and/or your Lane Google Suite account to access some of the site-building materials.
Writing Learning Outcomes
In education, outcomes describe what a student will accomplish or demonstrate at the end of a given sequence of their education. There are several levels of outcomes to consider:
Institutional Level Outcomes - Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs) distill the essential human characteristics that faculty and their students will strive to develop through a liberal education at Lane. By expressing Lane's five Institutional Learning Outcomes and 27 dimensions, the college community commits to addressing and assessing these outcomes across the curriculum. Check with your division or department to see how you address meeting Lane's ILOs.
Program/Discipline Level Outcomes - Set by the program, division, or department, describe what a student will accomplish or demonstrate to earn a degree, certificate, or pathway certificate. Check with your division or department to see how you should be addressing meeting program outcomes or goals.

Course Level Outcomes - Describe what a student will accomplish or demonstrate to successfully pass a course. Course-level outcomes are set at the state level and must go through the Curriculum Committee review process. Typically, faculty members teaching a given course will guide this process and collectively set the standards. They are specific and highly measurable.
Module, Weekly, or Assignment Level - Describe what a student will accomplish or demonstrate to pass a unit, module, or assignment. These goals are set by the instructor and should map back to the course-level outcomes.
