Marci and I have gone over the outcomes a little more thoroughly, and we have placed them in priority order. What we end up with are really 5 learning outcomes, and these are the first 5 of the original set.
Outcomes 6-8 are topics, or a subset, within the previous 5. We assert they should not be thought of as outcomes, but as important topics covered under the umbrella of the 1 - 5 set.
Outcome 10 is too large and beyond the scope here, and she will simply introduce the topic and provide resources.
Outcome 9 is beyond the scope and will not be covered.
Again, we end up 5 outcomes, which are the first 5 of the original set, plus a "sub-outcome" regarding copyright (#10). Form the original set, outcomes 6-8 will be covered as topics. 9 will not be covered.
Let us know what you think.
