Introduction
Standards, objectives, and learning outcomes. Oh my!
These terms are part of all teachers' daily lives. Let's talk about how we define and use these terms in ACCESS course development.
Following successful completion of this lesson, students will be able to...
- Differentiate between standards, objectives, and learning outcomes.
- Identify Quality Matters standards related to course and lesson objectives and alignment (QM 2.1-2.4).
Essential Questions
- How can I ensure that my online course is meaningful and effective for students?

- Because the standards describe what students do, they must both be covered in the Learn and evaluated through a Task.
- Course of study standards should serve as the base for creating meaningful and measurable lesson-level objectives.
