How to edit/add Outcomes in Moodle 2.
Outcomes are specific descriptions of what a student is expected to be able to do or understand at the completion of an activity, resource, or course. Other terms for Outcomes are competencies and goals.
Navigate to the course and open the gradebook from the Settings block by clicking "Grades."
Click "Outcomes."
Tab view: Select Outcomes tab.
Drop down menu: Select Outcomes from the menu.
Note: If the Outcomes area does not appear in the gradebook, the site administrator will need to enable it to appear.
Click "Edit outcomes."
Standard Outcomes are located in the right column and can only be added/edited by a site administrator. To use a standard outcome in the course, select the outcomes and then select add to move them to the left column Outcomes used in this course.
Click "Add a new outcome" to add a Custom outcome to the course.
Click the "Edit" icon to edit a Custom outcome.
Note that once an Outcome has been used in a course it can no longer be edited or deleted.
