Friendly names for outcomes consistent across platform for students
Currently, instructors and admin can create and upload learning outcomes to Canvas with 2 different names:
- Title: Formal name of the outcome displayed to instructors
- Display name: Also known as a "friendly name", which is intended to be more student-friendly and easier to understand by students and parents
At present, the friendly name of an outcome is only displayed on a student's Learning Mastery Gradebook, but not on other student-facing areas of the platform like Rubrics associated with Assignments.
This is confusing for students because the names of outcomes on their Assignment Rubrics might not be easy to understand and, more importantly, they do not align with the names of outcomes they see on their Learning Mastery Gradebook.
For pedagogical soundness, it would make more sense if all student-facing instances of outcomes show the friendly name for consistency and comprehensibility.
