Overview

Measures represent the objectives, outcomes, goals, and other components associated with a course. You can manage these measures directly from the course within a Curriculum Grid.

When adding or editing a course measure, Review with Leo can help you improve the description. Leo reviews the description against standard course measure writing practices and, where applicable, suggests an improved version.

The available measure categories are created on the Program Details page and activated for the Curriculum Grid.
