Types of Learning Objectives

What change do you want to see in your learners? ‍

… I know, another broad question. So let’s break it down even further:

What do you want your learners to change as a result of interacting with your online learning environment? There are 3 domains we can choose from:

  • Cognitive (Knowledge)
  • Affective (Attitude, Feelings, or Emotions)
  • Psychomotor (Physical or Manual Skills)

Once you select the domain, then you can choose an action verb associated with the domain to describe that end result. More to come on how to write effective learning outcomes later. Stay tuned!
