Align Competencies (learning outcomes) to assignments

Learning Outcomes and Competencies (Learning Objectives) cannot be used together. If Learning Outcomes are associated with a course, Competencies cannot be used in assignments. To switch an assignment's alignment from Competencies to Learning Outcomes, you must first remove its alignment with a Competency. For more information, refer to About Learning Outcomes.
