Which comes first, upgrading a course or writing new Learning Outcomes?

I mean that when a teacher wants to upgrade a course, it’s better to start by writing better LOs:

– more active verbs

– raise the expectations for the students : can they reach Relational level?

– can the LOs integrate new technology available?

– can we expect greater depth of understanding, or more collaboration?

Once the LOs have been redeveloped, THEN the teacher can implement a better course!

Just like the pony goes before the cart, the LO goes before the course.
