Subprinciples When possible, individual learners help shape the learning outcomes and how they are achieved. Intended learning outcomes are described in observable, measurable, and achievable terms. The learning design is consistent with and shaped to achieve the intended learning outcomes. Distance education media and delivery systems are used in a way that facilitates the achievement of intended learning outcomes. Learning outcomes are assessed in a way relevant to the content, the learner's situation, and the distance education delivery system.
Assessment of learning is timely, appropriate, and responsive to the needs of the learner.
Intended learning outcomes are reviewed regularly to ensure their clarity, utility, and appropriateness for the learners.
