or learning experience. They define the specific knowledge, skills, attitudes, or behaviors that learners should acquire or demonstrate.
Learning outcomes, on the other hand, are the observable and measurable results of achieving the learning objectives. They indicate the
tangible changes in knowledge, skills, or behavior that learners should exhibit after completing the training.
