Online Objectives Builder Tool
One of the things that some new instructors that I work with struggle with, is writing traditional performance-based course and lesson objectives. I know that for myself it wasn’t until I entered my MA in education that I even became aware of their purpose in instruction, so when you consider that many adjunct and even full time College level teachers/professors have not been exposed to teaching education it’s no surprise (and certainly no fault ).

Since I work with online teachers to design instruction for their online courses, and since most of the instructors I support are remote from campus, I decided to develop an online tool for writing objectives so that when we work together remotely the tool could serve as an interactive example for writing objectives that the instructor could then use independently after words.
What it does:
The tool and allows an instructor to select a level of student performance (Bloom’s level of intellectual performance) via a drop down menu. When a selection is made, info related to the choice is pulled into the interface from an external XML document which includes:
- An overview of the knowledge level selected
- A List of corresponding verbs that when selected populate a text editor so that the instructor can write objectives directly
- A set of example objectives to get ideas on how to structure an objective
- A text editor for writing/printing objectivesWhy?
My hope is that the tool will act as a useful resource for instructors writing or revising course materials. There are a lot of excellent websites and resources for learning to write objectives, but I haven’t seen alot of interactive web-based tools for creating them. I’m not sure if it has value for the larger .edu community, but if so that’d be great.
James…I LOVE your online objectives writing tutorial! A person at the University sent it to me in email! WOW!
I hope you don’t mind, but I would LOVE to use this as part of my class at the University for beginning teachers (students who are just beginning the teacher preparation program). I was in the process of building something – not even CLOSE to what you have – so I would just rather use yours
If you are ok with this, over 200 people/preservice teachers each semester will hit your site (not at the same time 
. I teach this class TWICE a year – so that’s over 400 people each year 
Let me know if that’s ok
James, I work with faculty and staff who need to learn how to write learning objectives. I had a link to your online program on my website for easy access to this fabulous information. Is this all right? If so, how can I again gain access to the program?
Yes it’s alright to link to the tool. I’m glad it’s useful. You can access it at http://www.radiojames.com/ObjectivesBuilder/ and use it as long as you want.
love this tool, but it wont work with my net book display, any ideas?
I really like this tool. It is very helpful. However, we have begun using the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. Have you seen this? Any plans to update the tool?
I too love this tool! My husband, who is an on-line instructor, showed it to me. I am the Director of Curriculum & Instruction in a K-12 public school system and will love to share it with beginning teachers and others who struggle with writing Bloom’s-based objectives. Your work is so easy to follow and directed to results so it’s worth the time in their busy days.
It would be divine to have the Bloom’s part updated to the new one but this still works for those struggling with the process.
Thanks!
James–like Heather–I would like permission to use your objective builder in a course writer workshop that we conduct on an on going basis–your beginning tutorial and the tool itself is probably the best I’ve seen
Thanks
