Hi Barry:
From a classroom theory standpoint, I think about student learning outcomes (SLO's) as the "What" a student should come away from a class with, while daily course or learning objectives are the "How" the SLO's will be met.
SLO's are very specific and unchanging for a given course. In contrast, there are hundreds of approaches to achieving the daily learning objectives. These form the basis for how a class is taught.
Regards, Barry
