Overview

It's crucial that you map out what you intend the students to learn for any class. Learning Objectives are used as guides to create a lesson plan that you use to guide your teaching activities for the session.

Objectives

In this module, you will learn how to:

Identify the knowledge, task or aptitude that students need to acquire.
Select an action verb that conveys the level of ability that students will need to perform.
Write a measurable objective that clearly describes the intended learning outcome.
