Overview

• Only the learning objectives that are assigned to (used in) courses are present in the entity.
• The entity shows the latest version of the learning objective.

Usage in itslearning

Learning objectives (standards) are statements that define the expected goal of a course, lesson or activity in terms of demonstrable skills or knowledge that will be acquired by a student. They allow teachers to better define outcomes for students. Students can be asked to demonstrate understanding / mastery of the learning outcomes.

The learning objectives can be added to itslearning on three levels:

• The national repository for the whole country or state. These are added to the repository by itslearning (in consultation with customers and national organisations). Each has a unique identifier.
• Customer (site) repository. Each customer can add their learning objectives to a local repository.
• Course-level learning objectives. Teachers can choose from the national or customer learning objectives or add their own for use in a specific course. We recommend that cross-course learning objectives are added to the customer (site) repository.

Learning objectives are usually shown in a folder structure, divided into focus areas.

Example of learning objectives in the national repository

Each learning objective has two identifiers:

• LearningObjectiveId - The unique internal identifier.
• RepositoryLearningObjectiveId - An optional identifier from the national/local catalogue of learning objectives. This is usually created by the organisation managing the external repository.
