What are the learning objectives for the program? What capabilities will the learner need to perform in order to achieve the program goals?
Define the learning objectives and the capabilities that will be covered in the learning
What actions will the learner need to perform to achieve the program goals and what capabilities will they need?
WHY?
Listing the learning objectives and capabilities that will be covered in the learning will help you to focus the learning design process on knowledge-based outcomes as well as actions (what the learner should be able to do when they have completed the learning).
Consider using Bloom’s Taxonomy of Measurable Verbs as a guide to describing and classifying the observable knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviours and abilities that make up your learning objectives.
HOW?
Document your program's capabilities and measures of success in the Learning Canvas:
-
Open the Objectives section of the Learning Canvas by clicking on the blue Objectives icon.
-
Turn on/off capabilities
-
Add your objectives and capabilities using the +Add Objective / +Add Capability button.
