How do I edit or delete an outcome group in a course?
If you created an outcome in your course that you need to edit or delete, you can do so as long as the outcome has not yet been used to assess a student. Once the outcome has been aligned with an item or artifact and used for scoring, you cannot modify the outcome.
You can delete an outcome group as long as it does not contain any outcomes that cannot be modified.
Notes:
- Unless you have permission, you cannot modify an outcome or outcome group that was added at the account level
- Outcomes that cannot be edited but can be deleted are aligned with a question bank but have not yet been used to assess a student

How do I create custom course outcome names for students?
As an instructor, you can choose to enable the Student Learning Mastery Gradebook (if allowed by your admin) and let students to see Learning Mastery scores on their Grades page. All Outcomes in the course appear in the student view. However, some official outcome names may be difficult for students to understand, so when creating outcomes at the course level, you have the option to create a custom, or more friendly name, to appear for students. This separate name field allows you to keep both the official name of the outcome as well as create a friendlier version that is more helpful for students.
Note: Creating a custom name is a course permission. If you have access, you will only be able to create friendly names for outcomes you create within your course. You cannot create custom names for outcomes created at the account level.

How do I find Learning Standards to add to a course-level outcome?
State and Common Core Standards are goals objectives for student assessment in the United States. These standards have been created by the nation's governors and educational leaders to assess specific student learning.
All State Standards added at the account or sub-account levels are available to you as an instructor.
- Common Core Standards are available for Language Arts, Math, and Science (NGSS)
- State-specific standards are available for Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies (if imported by your institution)
- Your Canvas Administrator must import the standards before you can find and import them for a course
State and Common Core Standards imported to the account or sub-account levels can be found within the Account Standards outcome group. However, all Common Core Standards are always available as a separate outcome group for importing.
If finding an outcome does not display any State or Common Core standards, or if you would like to use non-core standards for subjects such as PE, Health, Art, etc., please contact your Canvas Administrator.
