Allow “Improved Outcomes Management” without “Account and Course Level Outcome Mastery Scales” |
Summary
Outcome rating levels and calculation methods can be set for individual outcomes in the Improved Outcomes Management feature.
Change Benefit
This change allows administrators and instructors to set criterion rating levels and calculation methods on an individual basis to display accurate data in cases where they do not have consistent Mastery Scales enabled across their account, sub-account, or courses.
Feature Workflow
When creating outcomes, admins and instructors have the option to set criterion rating levels and calculation methods on an individual basis.
Admins with permission to manage outcomes can set criterion rating levels for the account and for all courses. Instructors with permission can only set criterion rating levels for outcomes created within their own courses.
