After administrators create goals, instructors can align any content item with a goal by clicking on the settings and Click Align with goals under Goals & standards.
Aligning course content and activities with goals provides instructors with:
- Clarity on content coverage of desired learning outcomes.
- Performance data on student progress against standards.
- Support remediation and retention efforts based on student performance.
Note: If you do not have a gradebook item for the assessment, you can create an item or upload from an external file.
To add an alignment to a Gradebook item:
- Navigate to your course
- Click Gradebook from the top menu.
- Find the item, click on the icon heading, and click Edit
- Click on the Settings Cog
- Scroll down until you reach Additional Tools and select Align with goals under Goals & standards
- Browse to find the outcome or search using keywords.
- Toggle the radio button next to the outcome to align it with the Grade Center column. Click Submit.
