MOQI Webinar: Learning Objectives: What, Why, Where, & How

Well-written learning objectives establish the foundation upon which courses are designed and delivered.  They form the basis for the instructional materials and assessments that are included in the course.

This session will review best practices for creating and sharing measurable learning objectives in your online or blended course.
