Articulate Your Learning Objectives
Before you decide on the content to cover in your course, endow your course with a strong internal structure conducive to student learning.
Alignment among three main course components ensures an internally consistent structure. Alignment is when the:
- OBJECTIVES articulate the knowledge and skills you want students to acquire by the end of the course
- ASSESSMENTS allow the instructor to check the degree to which the students are meeting the learning objectives
- INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES are chosen to foster student learning towards meeting the objectives
Aligning these three components is a dynamic process, since a change in one
necessarily affects the other two.

Articulating your learning objectives will help:
- YOU select and organize course content, and determine appropriate assessments and instructional strategies.
- STUDENTS direct their learning efforts appropriately and monitor their own progress.
