• Formulate your Objectives: Ideas and Examples

    A quality learning objective, written in behavioral terms, should address 1) when the objective should be met; 2) what should be done; 3) how the objective is to be accomplished; and 4) show how the successfully completed objective is to be measured (evaluation).

    The Learning Objectives Examples allow you to view sample learning objectives and outcomes to help you complete this form correctly.

    The Action Words list provides you with specific examples to utilize when describing your specific learning objectives and outcomes.
