The Last Word on…Learning Objectives

Now that I have completed my project’s learning objectives I think I can write a short bit on what I learned from the process.  I wish I remembered exactly where this came from but it was the best reminder for creating objectives that I found.  I have it hanging on my note board so I can see it while I am writing.

Effective Learning Objectives are:

clearly stated

measurable

realistic and do-able

appropriate and

worthy

The Light Bulb Moment

I was working on the “big” project last week, just entering definition tables, getting ready for the big writing push for that particular learning nugget.  I took a moment to review my schedule when it hit me….this “nugget” will replace a 250 page manual and maybe I needed more than a week to write it.  Oh yes, a real light bulb moment!

So taking a break from the nugget writing as the latest is in SME review and back to completing another section of objectives.

While we are talking about Objectives….

Here’s an Easy Way to Create Learning Objectives

I have fallen behind in my Captivate work.  It is still a big part of my project but not until the end.  I am slightly disappointed that I am not making the time to continue my “tool” education.  I suppose I should examine my schedule and set time aside as that is the only way I can manage to fit it in.
