Activities

Objectives are often comprised of three key elements that help communicate what a successful learner will be able to do:

  1. Performance (What do you want the learner to be able to do?)
  2. Conditions (What are the important conditions or constraints under which the behaviour is to be shown?)
  3. Criterion (How well does the learner need to perform to have mastered the objective?)

Every objective does NOT need to state the conditions or criterion of acceptable performance. The goal is to add enough description to an objective so that someone else reading it will be able to determine what the person writing the objective wanted the learner to be able to do.
