stands for course).

"Code" BLANK. Under "Performance" please enter the default percentage of 70%. When finished, click Save.

your name, along with the course name and number. Click Save and Continue.

five of the colleges institutional outcomes will show up, along with their categories,
across the top of the matrix. Since the list is rather lengthy, you can click the
right arrow to move in that direction.
You can also just show one institutional outcome at a time by clicking the drop-down for All Categories and choosing one of the five ISLOs.
- Clicking a box for an SLO will map it to the corresponding ISLO and one of its categories.
You can map an SLO to multiple ISLOs if desired.

Creating a New Version of an SLO

acknowledging that the content used to be different and keeping a record of the old
data.
- Make the major changes to the PSLO in the "Name" Section, then click Submit. Do NOT make changes to the "Short Name", "Code", and "Performance" sections.
- Answer the question about why the outcome needs to be revised. Make sure you include
your name, along with the course name and number. Click Save and Continue.

- Here is where you can, if desired, update your revised course SLO to an institutional
outcome(s) mapping. All five of the colleges institutional outcomes will show up,
along with their categories, across the top of the matrix. Since the list is rather
lengthy, you can click the right arrow to move in that direction.
