Abstract: The first step in the design
process of a module is to specify the objectives or
what it is a successful learner will be able to do after
completing the module. This particular module breaks
an objective up into three key elements:
- performance,
- conditions, and
- criterion.
Definitions of each are given along with examples and
exercises that enable you to analyze the objectives
provided as well as one that you create.
Estimated Time to Complete: 15 minutes
