I am looking at adding Goals to our Learn 9.1 system. Specifically the definition of what a goal set should be, what the goal type should be, what the identifier should be, etc. We have program level, course level and also Gen Ed outcomes. Gen Ed can be shared across all, and program goals can be shared across courses. Course-level outcomes are unique to each course. I can't seem to find good documentation on how to set this up.
I have only played around with this site, but it seems to work:

Does Blackboard have any official Goal XML generator?

Ryan, no it does not.
However, there's the one that I cobbled together, which you referenced.
Maureen,
I have a copy of my "Goals and Alignments" presentation from BbWorld 2014 at BbWorld 14: Goals and Alignments | Blackboard Administration Notes
Feel free to ask questions.
Evernote's also a great presentation tool.
I stopped using PowerPoint a couple of years ago, and just go full-screen with Evernote's Presentation Mode! [Which also works great over Collaborate.]
I’ve been pondering that move myself (have had premium access for a few months as part of an Evernote product purchase), so it’s great to hear your feedback! I’ll now stop hijacking the Goals thread with my Evernote commentary, but again – thanks for sharing!

Hi Maureen,
I'm guessing you may have already reviewed the Help content, but just in case: Goals - Blackboard Help
In addition, there are downloadable standard sets for import available from Behind the Blackboard: https://behind.blackboard.com/System-Administrator/Learn/Downloads/Standards/State-Select.aspx?REDIRECT=NO
These may be helpful to use as a model for goal creation. I'll let other clients weigh in on how they've created and managed goals on their own systems.
