1) Intended learning outcomes (ILOs) describe what students will achieve upon completing a unit of study and form the basis for assessments, learning activities, and content.
2) ILOs identify the minimum requirements students must meet to pass a unit and describe the intellectual and practical skills students will develop.
3) Different learners absorb information best in different ways - auditory learners through listening, visual learners through seeing, and kinesthetic learners through hands-on activities. Effective teachers use diverse teaching styles.

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) are statements about what a student will achieve upon successful completion of a unit of study. ILOs establish a foundation upon which the rest of the unit is built: assessment tasks are designed to measure student achievement of ILOs; learning activities are designed to teach students what they need so they can complete the assessment tasks and demonstrate achievement of the ILOs; and content and materials are chosen to support student participation in, and completion of, learning activities that will help them to achieve the ILOs. Learning outcomes describe what a learner is expected to know, understand and be able to demonstrate after completion of a process of learning (Vlasceanu, Grunberg & Parlea, 2007). Learning outcomes identify for students (and for the unit coordinator and other teaching staff) the minimum requirements to award a unit. That is, ILOs describe the specific intellectual and practical skills students require to be awarded a pass for the unit. Students who achieve an HD for the unit, therefore, demonstrate attainment above these minimum requirements. This website provides a suggested step-by-step process for writing and refining the ILOs for your unit, as well as a more detailed overview of the role, functions, and components of well-written learning outcomes. You may also find chapter 7 of Biggs & Tang (2011), "Designing intended learning outcomes", a useful read as it provides a detailed discussion of the principles involved in the design of intended learning outcomes. C. Auditory learners absorb information best by listening. They will likely do well in a classroom where the teacher verbally explains information and encourages class discussion. Visual learners take in information through seeing it. They will respond to practical demonstrations and videos. They absorb information better from looking at illustrations and presentations than participating in discussions. Kinaesthetic learners do best when they can perform the task. They will learn best from activities such as field trips and practical, hands-on training. In class, they may need regular breaks and benefit from opportunities to move around. Teachers who get to know the learning styles of their students can tailor their teaching approach accordingly. Where there’s a mismatch between the learning styles of students and the approach of the teacher, this can lead to student frustration, boredom and discouragement. Great teachers work around this issue by using what’s called a ‘diversified approach’. In this approach, teachers use various teaching styles, depending on the content students are learning and the diversity of student needs. For example, a teacher might combine a lecture with a group task and an internet-based homework assignment. develop and apply those skills demonstrated. They teach by ‘showing’ and encouraging students to work through similar problems or activities. D. a theory suggesting that people retain information better when they encounter it multiple times and in different ways. - Reading Text: You’re only able to retain 10% of what you read. - Hearing Instructions: You’re only able to retain 20% of what you hear. - Seeing Images: You’re only able to retain 30% of what you see. - Watching a video: You’ll be able to retain 30% of the information received.
