Hi Robert:
IThere are several definitions of student learning outcomes (SLO's). The one that I use decribers the "WHAT" of a course that students will learn as opposed to the "HOW" the slo's will be met by course objectives.
Well written slo's along the resources, faculty and appropriate learning environment will produce achievement of of the course objectives. These slo's also provide an ojective means of measuring student performance as well.
Regards, Barry
