Constructive Alignment

Constructive alignment is an outcomes-based, constructivist design discipline for higher-education courses in which intended learning outcomes (ILOs), teaching/learning activities (TLAs), and assessment tasks (ATs) are deliberately aligned around the same set of performance verbs — typically drawn from the SOLO taxonomy — so that what students actually do, and are assessed on, is what the course intends them to learn.
