That is a really neat tool, James, and I look forward to using it. I'm curious what the community thinks about listing the learning objectives within the course. I see this done quite often, usually at the beginning of a course or module. But when I'm on the other side of the course (as the learner) I frankly find these lists a little annoying; like the chef showing me his recipes before he begins cooking my food. :-)
- JamesBasore110 years agoCommunity MemberI think you have a good point there. I'm also interested in hearing what others have to say here. I've gone back and forth in listing them, or as a variation listing them in question form, or not at all. Does the learner need to how the soup is made, maybe not? Do they serve as an "advanced organizer" in any meaningful way to let the learner know what they will learn in the training?
- EricPastore4 years agoCommunity MemberAs a trainer, I find listing the objectives before and after serves a few purposes. Before, it tells the learner what they're learning and I find it eliminates questions up front. After, it lets me quiz the learners and give them a last chance to participate in the material before the end of the module.
