The SayPro Revisions and Resubmissions process is crucial to ensure that any feedback provided by the QCTO (Quality Council for Trades and Occupations) is incorporated into the courses, enabling them to meet the required standards for final approval. Below is a detailed step-by-step process for handling revisions, resubmissions, and ensuring the courses are appropriately modified and ready for re-approval.

---

1. Review QCTO Feedback

Objective: Thoroughly review the feedback received from QCTO to understand what revisions are required and to prioritize them accordingly.

Tasks:

• Access Feedback Details:
  • Open all communications and documents provided by QCTO, including official feedback forms, emails, or meeting notes. Ensure that you have the complete list of required revisions.
• Categorize Feedback:
  • Identify if the feedback falls under:
    • Content revisions (e.g., course objectives, materials)
    • Assessment changes (e.g., evaluation methods, rubrics)
    • Documentation or compliance-related updates (e.g., additional supporting documents, course alignment)
    • Formatting or structural changes (e.g., layout, presentation)
• Highlight Critical Feedback:
  • Mark feedback that requires immediate action, especially if it pertains to compliance or accreditation issues.
  • Flag any points where clarification may be needed before making revisions.

---

2. Plan and Prioritize Revisions

Objective: Develop a clear action plan that addresses all feedback, assigns responsibilities, and sets deadlines for revisions.

Tasks:

• Create a Revision Checklist:
  • For each course, create a detailed checklist outlining the feedback and corresponding revisions needed. This list should be categorized based on urgency and complexity.
• Set Internal Deadlines:
  • Establish deadlines for each revision based on the severity and impact of the changes. Ensure that these deadlines give enough time for quality control and internal review before resubmission.
• Assign Responsibilities:
  • Assign specific tasks to the relevant team members (e.g., course developers, instructional designers, compliance officers, or documentation experts).
• Coordinate with Teams:
  • If the revisions involve multiple departments or individuals (e.g., curriculum updates, compliance checks), ensure all involved parties are briefed and aligned on the action plan.

---

3. Implement the Revisions

Objective: Make the necessary changes to the courses based on the feedback, ensuring that all modifications meet QCTO’s requirements.

Tasks:

• Update Course Content:
  • Course Objectives/Outcomes: Ensure that learning outcomes align with the feedback, clarifying or expanding on content where necessary.

• Feedback and Approval:
  • Once internal reviews are complete, ensure the course is approved internally for resubmission to QCTO.
• Final Quality Control:
  • Double-check that all necessary documents (e.g., revised course outlines, assessments, evidence) are included in the resubmission package.

For the SayPro Monthly February QCTO New Course Upload Report, SayPro Learning Outcomes are critical in ensuring that the course aligns with both industry standards and the needs of the learners. These outcomes should be clearly defined, measurable, and reflective of the skills and knowledge learners are expected to gain upon completion of the course. Below are the key components for defining effective learning outcomes:

1. Clear and Specific Learning Outcomes:

• Knowledge Outcomes: These should describe what learners will know at the end of the course. For example:
  • “Learners will be able to explain the key principles of [subject area].”
  • “Learners will understand the theoretical foundations of [topic].”
• Skills Outcomes: These focus on what learners will be able to do with the knowledge they have gained. For example:
  • “Learners will be able to apply [concept] to solve practical problems in [field].”
  • “Learners will demonstrate the ability to [specific skill] in a real-world scenario.”
• Competency Outcomes: These address the ability to perform tasks and meet industry standards. For example:
  • “Learners will be competent in using [software/tool] to [task].”
  • “Learners will be able to perform [industry-specific task] to meet the required standards.”

2. Measurable and Achievable Outcomes:

Each learning outcome must be measurable, meaning it should be possible to assess whether or not the learner has achieved it. Use action verbs that can be quantified and evaluated. For example:

• “Demonstrate,” “Create,” “Analyze,” “Design,” “Evaluate,” “Solve,” “Assess.”

Outcomes should be realistic given the course’s content, time frame, and learners’ prior knowledge.

3. Alignment with Industry Standards:

The learning outcomes should reflect the current needs of the industry and the qualifications that learners are expected to achieve. Ensure that:

• The outcomes reflect key competencies as defined by professional bodies, industry regulations, and QCTO guidelines.
• They prepare learners for relevant certifications, accreditations, or job roles that require specific skills.

For example, in a technical course:

• “Learners will be able to troubleshoot and repair [specific machinery or equipment] according to industry safety standards.”

Or, in a business course:

• “Learners will be able to manage projects using industry-standard methodologies such as Agile or Scrum.”

4. Real-World Application:

Learning outcomes should prepare learners to apply knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios. This includes:

• Providing learners with the ability to solve practical, job-related problems.
• Ensuring they can work in their chosen field with confidence and competence.

For example:

• “Learners will be able to assess and improve organizational workflows using Lean Six Sigma principles.”
• “Learners will demonstrate proficiency in customer service by handling real-world customer inquiries.”

5. Inclusivity and Accessibility:

The learning outcomes should be designed to cater to the diverse needs of learners, ensuring they can all achieve success. This includes:

• Ensuring that the outcomes are attainable for learners with different learning styles and abilities.
• Providing clear guidelines for how outcomes can be achieved by learners with accommodations or support needs.

6. Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor Domains:

Learning outcomes should address the full range of learning domains:

• Cognitive Domain: Knowledge and intellectual skills (e.g., analysis, evaluation).
• Affective Domain: Attitudes, values, and motivation (e.g., demonstrating professionalism).
• Psychomotor Domain: Physical skills (e.g., manual tasks, technical skills).

For example:

• Cognitive: “Learners will analyze the impact of [topic] on [specific industry].”
• Affective: “Learners will demonstrate the importance of ethical decision-making in professional settings.”
• Psychomotor: “Learners will perform the necessary steps in a practical task with accuracy and precision.”

7. Bloom’s Taxonomy:

Learning outcomes should ideally be framed according to the Bloom’s Taxonomy framework to ensure they cover a range of cognitive levels, from basic knowledge to higher-order thinking. This includes:

• Remembering: Recall facts and basic concepts.
• Understanding: Explain ideas or concepts.
• Applying: Use information in new situations.
• Analyzing: Draw connections among ideas.
• Evaluating: Justify decisions or courses of action.
• Creating: Produce new or original work.

For example:

• “Learners will be able to apply knowledge of [subject] to solve practical problems.”
• “Learners will analyze data using [specific method].”

8. Time and Context Bound:

Learning outcomes should be achievable within the timeframe of the course and should be framed in the context of the course’s scope. For example:

• “By the end of this 6-week course, learners will be able to implement [specific technique or method] in their field.”

Example of Well-Defined Learning Outcomes:

• Knowledge Outcome: “Learners will be able to explain the core concepts of [subject] and its relevance to [industry].”
• Skill Outcome: “Learners will be able to analyze real-world case studies and propose solutions based on [specific methodology].”
• Competency Outcome: “Learners will demonstrate the ability to manage projects efficiently using Agile principles and software tools.”

By defining explicit learning outcomes that are aligned with industry standards, measurable, and relevant to the learners’ needs, the course will be better positioned to achieve its educational objectives and meet the requirements for accreditation and successful learner outcomes.
