Constructing Outcomes for Graduate Success (COGS) Toolkit for Writing Learning Outcomes
The COGS Toolkit V3.0 is utilised to support in developing learning outcomes. It is a developmental tool that is also used in the CAIeRO process with Learning Designers.

When should you use the toolkit?
In order to offer a meaningful entitlement to all our students to engage with and develop their employability skills and social impact through their on-programme experience. The toolkit is utilised during the CAIeRO process with Learning Designers and programme teams are encouraged to use COGS to support them in writing assessable learning outcomes that support student progression at each academic level, when appropriate.
