SPEAKER: This tutorial is a detailed step-by-step guide
that will teach you how to, one, enter program learning outcomes
for instructional programs in task stream and,
two, map program learning outcomes
to institutional learning outcomes.
I'm going to share my screen.
When you log into task stream, you
will see the name of your program.
Under the name of your program, there
should be a workspace called Program Learning
Outcomes, PLOs, workspace.
My space is labeled or titled as a demonstration.
If you do not see this workspace,
please contact us on Chaffey's website, search outcomes
and assessments.
Click need help and send us an email,
so that we can assign the workspace to you.
Program Learning Outcomes, known as PLOs,
are outcomes students achieve upon completion
of their program.
You will need to have your PLOs ready to be copied and pasted
into your Program Learning Outcomes, PLOs, workspace.
To find them, go to Chaffey's website.
I'm going to switch screens.
And I am on Chaffey College's website.
Look for programs and academics.
Click catalog.
Click programs of study.
Here, you will find all PLO sets for all degrees
and certificates.
Now that we know where to find PLOs,
let's learn how to enter PLOs into task stream.
I am switching back to my PLOs workspace.
Click on Program Learning Outcomes, PLOs, workspace.
On the left-hand side, you will see standing requirement areas.
Click on PLO, degree certificate sets.
Now click on the check out button.
It is the green rectangle in the upper right-hand corner.
This allows only the user who checks out
the space to be the only person working on that space.
You will not want another faculty member making changes
while you are working on it.
So there is only one person at one time in a space.
Right now, the shell is empty.
So we need to put information in there.
Click create new set.
In the text box by set name, type
in the name of your program and whether it's
a degree or certificate.
For example, communication studies AAT PLOs.
You can also type the year for this set of PLOs.
You will need to check the box.
Outcomes in other sets will need to be aligned
to outcomes in this set.
This will allow you to map course learning outcomes
to this set of program learning outcomes.
Click continue.
Click create new outcome.
Type in a short PLO label next to the outcome.
For example, PLO one, oral communication.
Type the full PLO in the box labeled description.
Remember that PLOs are assumed to follow
the phrase, upon successful completion of the program.
With this assumption, lead out this phrase.
So here's where I will put that description.
Click continue.
Add another outcome.
PLO two, critical thinking.
Copy and paste the PLO.
Click continue.
And you'll keep doing this until you
have all your outcomes entered.
Once you do, click back to all outcome sets.
You will see that the system generated your PLO set.
If you make a mistake, it's very easy to edit.
If you want to reorder PLOs, click reorder.
If you want to edit the name of your department/s degree
or certificate, click edit set name.
And if you want to edit the title of the PLO or the PLO
description, click the blue edit on the right side.
Now it's time to map PLOs to institutional learning
outcomes.
Institutional Learning Outcomes, ILOs,
represent core competencies that all students, regardless
of academic program of study, are expected
to acquire upon completion of Chaffey College's
associate degree or certificate programs.
PLOs should align with institutional learning
outcomes.
On the right side, click map.
Click create new mapping.
In the drop down menu, next to select category
a set to map to, select goal sets distributed to,
and you should see your program's name.
Click go.
Select institutional learning outcomes and click continue.
Select the appropriate institutional learning
outcomes to map your program learning outcomes
by checking the box or boxes next
to the institutional learning outcome's abbreviation.
Here, you can select more than one institutional
learning outcome.
So this is looking at PLO one, oral communication.
And I'm going to select the institutional learning outcome
that closely aligns with this.
Again, you can click more than one.
Click continue.
I will then map my second PLO.
Click create new mapping.
Select type of set, goals sets distributed to,
and the name of your program.
Click go.
Click institutional learning outcomes.
Click continue.
And here is my second PLO.
If you have another degree or certificate in your program,
click create new set and repeat these steps.
In other words, you will have a set of PLOs
for your degree program.
And if you have a certificate, you
will have another set of PLOs for the certificate.
Once you've finished creating PLO degree and certificate sets
and you have mapped each outcome to the institutional learning
outcome, click check in on the upper right-hand corner.
On the screen, you can return to the work area.
But you also have the option of adding and submitting a comment
to the revision history log.
Please be advised that once a comment is entered here,
it cannot be edited or removed.
It's important to know that comments are not required.
And that concludes this tutorial.
