So we have already added the Outcomes to the site. Now let's go through the steps required to enable one Outcome for your course.
We just enabled two of the site-wide Outcomes on our test course. This will allow you to assign either of those two Outcomes to activities. The other two Outcomes are not going to be available to an activity until they are added to the course.
There is also a link to Edit outcomes below the two columns. This brings you to an Outcome manager page like the one before, with one exception. Now when you add an Outcome, you can decide if it is a Standard outcome or not. If you just want to add an Outcome to the local course that is not relevant site-wide, this is where you add it. This locally added Outcome would be a custom Outcome.
There are probably many reasons that one may want to add a course-level Outcome, and one that I have come across is when there is no centralized course design and management and each course creator adds their own Outcomes for their own course. This does work in some circumstances, but may lead to duplication of effort if the same Outcome is used in multiple courses.
I do not recommend you using this method to add Outcomes. Outcomes by their nature should be approached from a site-wide basis and not an individual course basis, if possible.
While you are rolling out a new product or service, you need a simple and concise course that covers all aspects of the product. Suppose someone has already created the course which includes various resources and activities, and you have been asked to create two Outcomes, what should you do?
Should you create the new Outcomes site-wide or just within the course? What will influence this decision?
