Writing Objectives

I am sharing a post that helps me when writing objectives. I don't have the link so I can't give credit to the original owner, but I thought it is worthy of sharing.

Write learning objectives
A learning objective is a clear, concise, objective description of what your learners will be able to do at the end of a given instructional unit. Of all the activities involved in the instructional design process, developing objectives is one of the most critical.
Purpose
• Learning objectives tell learners what they will know, understand or be able to do at the end of a block of instruction (section, topic, lesson, or workshop).
• Objectives should be clear, honest, complete, and correct.
• Well-written objectives should serve as the basis for test items. Well-written objectives tell learners how their performance will be assessed.
Composing
• Determine the goal of the learning activity (the objective).
• Determine what learners must demonstrate to achieve that goal (the enabling objectives).
• Write objectives based on the above skills, task, or knowledge.
Tools
As you develop your objectives, the following documents may help you through this phase.
What are appropriate verbs for learning objectives? Use these verbs for learning objectives

Use these verbs when the objective is to remember and recall previously learned information:
• Define • describe • identify • match • name • record

Use the following verbs when the objective is to judge the value of information:
• compare and contrast • conclude • critique • interpret • justify • support

Words to avoid, as these verbs are subject to multiple interpretations:

What are some examples of performance objectives?
