Learning objectives clarify exactly what it is youre trying to teach. Ray Sims has written a great summary on Writing Learning Objectives , with citations to some good resources, including Vicki Heaths post Learning Objectives: Writing Learning Outcomes So They Matter. I see the value. How about you?
