Summary: | The ECTS User's Guide prescribes the use of learning outcomes in the description of individual course units and states the need to specify the associated assessment criteria. Here, we present a concrete template proposal for the description of individual course units that adds two additional alignments to the well-known double alignment strategy. More specifically, we propose the specification of four alignments: learning outcomes to contents; learning outcomes to assessment; assessment to the teaching and learning strategies; and assessment to grading. To support the latter, a specific grading strategy is briefly presented. Additionally, learning outcomes are classified according to the European Qualification Framework for Lifelong Learning.
