Learning outcomes are statements of what a learner is expected to know, understand and /or be able to demonstrate after completion of a process of learning. As preparatory work for the development of assessment frameworks for the AHELO feasibility study two reports on what students in economics and engineering should know nearing the end of their bachelor's degree were prepared by the Tuning association. They can be downloaded free of charge on the OECD iLibrary. A direct link is also available on the AHELO documents page.
