Constructive alignment is the fancy term we use to describe the connection between learning activities, assessment, and the learning outcomes that we expect students to meet.

This song is an inspirational reminder that you need to connect what students do in class (and the accompanying assessments) with the learning outcomes for the course, for their overall program, and with the institutional aspirations for graduates.
