Objectives and Expectations Tips

There is a difference between objectives and goals. Learning is the main objective or purpose.

Instructional alignment- flow from content assessment (make objective clear)

Make "nuts and bolts" for the course clear from the start. Let students know what is required and provide expectations

Use a student-friendly voice (tone)

Make objectives measureable (students don’t always read the syllabus). Objectives should be measurable, behavioral, and observable.

Create a video syllabus to visually inform students (using Tegrity®)

Create chart of objectives, activites and assessments iin the syllabus to show students how each is related to the other.

Use case studies as activities: http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/projects/cases/case.html

Link objective to a rubric. Set up a rubric: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php

Establish objectives for each week

Write objectives from the student's perspective

Use Blackboard's Adaptive Release feature: select a course in Blackboard >>control panel>>course documents>>create or select a document>>manage>>adaptive release

Establish interaction boundaries (know when to stop)

Separate out components of syllabus online. Policy, Grading, Schedule, keeps syllabus from appearing so long. Helps students find the information quicker.
