ILOs are designed to assist departments, disciplines, and programs to develop learning outcomes for programs, courses, and services, and to guide college decision-making. The ILO is the college's collective expression of its learning environment.

They all tie together:

Course objectives are measured by course-specific SLOs
Course SLOs tie into PLOs
PLOs and SAOs tie into GELOS or ILOs

Program Mapping

Through the Program Mapping tool in Nuventive Improve, you can align program learning outcomes up to the GELOs and ILOs, and align your course outcomes to the program outcomes.

Here is an example of program outcomes for the Math AS-T mapped to the GELO/ILOs: A screen shot showing the program learning outcomes for the Math AS-T mapped to the GELOs for oral communication/ critical thinking and natural science.

And here is an example of courses in the Math AS-T mapped to the program learning outcomes:
