Key Concepts

Objectives Based Learning

This is a style of course creation focused on an instructors goal of what a students primary, secondary and tertiary knowledge should be leaving the course. Then using this information to focus on what topics and content should be covered in the course.

Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives are a general concept in a field that an instructor may teach. Learning Objectives come in various levels of importance: urgent, important and good to know. These levels of importance decide the topic's priority in the course. How much material of that topic will be covered and what weight it will carry in the course.

Content

This is the meat of the course. The actual materials which an instructor will directly use, or use to create their own materials to cover in the course.

Assessments

This describes how the instructor will measure a students progress and comprehension of content and topics covered through out the course.

Pedagogy

This explains how the Content and the Assessments will work together to satisfy each Learning Objective.
