How do I create an outcome for a course?

In Course Navigation, click the Outcomes link.

Click the New Outcome button.

Enter a name for the outcome in the Name this outcome field [1]. This is the official name of the outcome that will also appear in the Learning Mastery Gradebook.

If you allow students to view Learning Mastery scores on the Grades page, they will see the name of the outcome. However, you may want to create a custom, friendly name. To create a friendly name for student view, enter a name in the Friendly name (optional) field [2].  

You can also enter a description in the Rich Content Editor field [3].

Click the Edit icon [1] to edit the criterion rating. You can change the existing name (if desired) for the criterion in the Criterion Name field [2]. Set the criterion point value by typing in the Points field [3].

To save the criterion, click the OK button [4]. To remove the criterion completely, click the Delete button [5].

To add additional criterion ratings, click the Insert link [6].

Set the mastery point value in the Mastery at field [1]. This field indicates the number of points that must be achieved for mastery according to the criterion ratings.

In the Calculation Method drop-down menu [2], select the calculation method for the outcome. By default, new outcomes are set to the Decaying Average calculation method in the Canvas interface.

Click the Save button [3].

View the created outcome.
