description The paper reflects on the topic of learning outcomes in Higher Education. The emphasis on the education process and learning benefits students, faculty, and institution. The theme of learning outcomes in relation to instructional design and assessment becomes the subject of faculty development programs; a three-level training is hypothesized and discussed, starting with the IRIDI training program for faculties at the University of Turin. The first level is the exploration of learning outcomes’ topic, which can start from the syllabus development. The second level refers to the reinforcement of the use of learning outcomes in the didactic and assessment practices. The last level emphasizes the importance of providing faculty with specific training, with a collegial and institutional focus. This training model will be able to support and promote student-centered, inclusive, and quality teaching in Higher Education.   Formare i docenti universitari a progettare e valutare secondo i learning outcomes: nuove sfide in Higher Education. Il contributo presenta una riflessione sul tema dei learning outcomes nella didattica universitaria. L’attenzione per il processo didattico e l’apprendimento portano benefici per studenti, docenti e istituzione. Il tema dei learning outcomes in relazione alla progettazione didattica e alla valutazione diventa oggetto della formazione dei docenti universitari; viene ipotizzata e discussa una formazione a tre livelli, partendo dalla analisi del programma di formazione IRIDI per i docenti universitari dell’Università di Torino. Il primo livello è quello della esplorazione del tema dei learning outcomes, che può partire dalla redazione della scheda di insegnamento. Il secondo livello si riferisce al consolidamento dell’uso dei learning outcomes nella pratica didattica a valutativa dei docenti universitari. L’ultimo livello sottolinea l’importanza di offrire ai docenti una formazione specifica sul tema, con una attenzione collegiale e istituzionale. Questo modello di formazione potrà sostenere e promuovere una didattica centrata sullo studente, inclusiva e di qualità.
