ADDIE Design:
Write Learning Objectives
Learning Objective: The learner will be able to state what the different kinds of learning objectives are, what the purpose of each is, and how to formulate them.
There are several kinds of learning objectives. Here we concentrate on Terminal and Enabling objective.
Terminal objectives describe the learner’s expected level of performance by the end of the course/training and describe results and not processes.
Terminal objectives will assist in focusing efforts and to develop enabling objectives.
If a course or training is offered in a traditional form and online, both forms should have the same terminal objectives as they both have the same desired outcomes.
Enabling Objectives define the skills, knowledge, or behaviors students must reach in order to successfully complete terminal objectives.
Enabling objectives help us track student competency thanks to three components that include performance, condition, and standards.
- Performance: states what the student will be doing and how he/she will demonstrate the knowledge, skill or behavior. Performance is best described through action verbs.
- Condition: defines the circumstances under which learners perform the desired task.
- Standards: define what level the student must perform the task at. This might involve physical measurement, and time among others measurements.

Given the goals of the course create the terminal objective. Once those have been determined analyze the skills or knowledge gap that lies between the entry behaviors and the terminal objectives.
Outline the steps necessary for a learner to acquire new skills and knowledge leading to the performance level stated in the terminal objective.
Once you have the above mentioned steps write the enabling objective. Note the objective writing tips below.
- In the Performance use Action verbs
- In the Condition state under what conditions or when to perform
- Don’t forget to use standards (familiarize yourself with the standards in the industry or subject areas being taught).
