Learning objectives or goals help learners engage with their learning experience and contribute to successful learning transfer. The conscious effort of setting program objectives is proven to increase learner buy-in and motivation to complete the program and reach their goals.
Learning Objectives in Academy
- Learning objectives can be pre-defined for all learners of a particular program
- Learners can set their own personal goals
- Learners can rate the pre-defined objectives during the Program Onboarding, as well as add their own objectives:
Learners can also revisit their objectives at any time throughout the program, via the button in the main header.
Sharing
Participants can choose to share their objectives and ratings with their classmates, via the Share button displayed below.
Tip: The class's learning objectives are automatically shared with program Facilitators, Coaches and Coordinators.
To set up objectives for your program:
- Edit the Program
- Go to the Objectives tab in the left menu
- Add objectives to your program. Remember that sometimes less is more!
Tip: If your Academy program is linked to a Guroo Pro program, you can import your learning objectives directly from the Learning Canvas in Guroo Pro.
Settings
You can disable these settings if you choose not to allow the program's learners to rate the objectives or to add their own personal objectives.
Enable Objectives in the Onboarding
If you have enabled the Program Onboarding feature for your learning program, you can choose to include the Learning Objectives in the onboarding, so that learners are encouraged to engage with the objectives at the very beginning of the program.
Reviewing Class Objectives - Facilitators, Coaches and Coordinators
The 'Class Objectives' view is available to Facilitators, Coaches and Coordinators, and averages/aggregates the learner ratings for each of the objectives across the entire class. Learners can also view these ratings and averages, if other participants have chosen to share.
The spider diagram shows the spread of ratings across the class.
The list at the bottom of the screen provides a clear picture of the learners who have interacted with the objectives and those who haven't yet done so, along with the average class rating for each objective.
