Learning objectives are clear, concise statements that describe what students will know or be able to do by the end of the course or module. Learning objectives usually begin with an action verb and they define something that is measurable (something that can be assessed). Learning objectives are often used interchangeably with the terms outcomes or learning goals. Effective learning outcomes create the foundation for alignment in your course. https://mankato.mnsu.edu/it-solutions/locations/instructional-design-academic-technology-services/mavlearn/teaching-strategies/
