Behavioral Learning Objectives

Behavioral Learning Objectives 

we will be talking about and using behavioral learning objectives, following the ABCD model. Even if you are familiar with another model, please use this one so we are all speaking the same language, as it were.

• Here is an article, Writing Behavioral Learning Objectives, explaining  behavioral learning objectives. The article was written by Timothy R. Graeff at Middle Tennessee university.

• "How to Write Clear Objectives" from Pennsylvania State University's Teaching and Learning office gives the basic overview of the ABCD model that we will be using:

• An online slide show takes a look at using the ABCD model with achieving an information technology goal. You may find this very helpful as you plan your project for this course (adding a technology component to improve your teaching):

• "Classifying Objectives" from the Innovative Technology Center at the University of Tennessee is a revised Bloom's Taxonomy. Make sure you think about writing learning objectives that address a range of skills on the hierarchy, as well as being observable.
