- During the next academic year, the tutoring center will increase the number of tutoring sessions by 20% above last year's total tutoring sessions.
"Learners" are the audience for the first two. The tutoring center is the audience
or focus for the last outcome.
- compare aspects of learning and operational outcomes.

These are specific and can be measured.
For the first two, learning is demonstrated after completing the lesson. For the last,
achievement would be measured after the next academic year.
For the operational outcome, the answer is pretty straight-forward; increase by 20%.
