Writing Effective Objectives app for iPhone and iPad

‘InSight’ is EI Design’s ProductLine of online tutorials designed for global audience with varied experience levels. The first suite comprises of tutorials designed for aspiring eLearning professionals, on Instructional Design.

Objectives form the basis for any learning. Without objectives, it is difficult to measure the effectiveness of learning. Often, Instructional Designers are accused of coming up with learning objectives which are not really "SMART".

What is the best way to write objectives that not only follow the required taxonomy but also meet the learning mandate effectively? With this focus in mind, this app dives into some best practices and do’s and donts for writing objectives.

To achieve this focus, we have incorporated detailed scenarios (on the lines of a high-level master scenario) with specific examples and non-examples of objectives. The app follows the learning path of three young learners and their learning mandate. What type of learning objectives are presented to them and how effective are these objectives forms the premise for the learning in this app.

After taking this module, learners should be able to construct effective, meaningful, measurable and relevant objectives. By intelligently weaving in examples, non-examples and realistic scenarios, the module transforms level 1, highly factual type of content into an interesting and engaging learning experience.

For eLearning enthusiasts, we recommend our suite of 15 tutorials.
