Good instructional design involves determining from the outset exactly what should be learned (the objectives) and then using the desired learning outcomes to guide the development, delivery, and evaluation of instruction.  This form is designed to guide you through the process of writing effective five-part instructional objectives.  The parts are:

    1) WHO:    the target population

    2) WHEN:  under what conditions

    3) WILL:    what action they will perform

    4) WHAT:   the output the action will result in

    5) HOW:     accuracy level desired

SAMPLE OBJECTIVE:  Students, when given a matching exercise, will correctly sequence the five parts of a learning objective with 80% accuracy.

DIRECTIONS: Choose a word or phrase from the drop down lists in 1.-4.a., modify the object (if necessary) by typing in the memo box in 4.b., choose whether or not to specify accuracy, and set the level of accuracy.  Press the Submit button when you're done.  The program will work for a few seconds to produce the objective, then show it to you.

When presented with the finished objective, highlight it using your mouse and choose Edit-->Copy to copy it to your computer's clipboard.  Then minimize your browser, open a new document in a word processing program, and choose Edit-->Paste to paste the objective into your word processing document.  Repeat as necessary until you've written and copied all the objectives, then save your word processing document!
