Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Home Courses Development of Teaching and Active Learning Subjects 2. Constructing well-formulated learning objectives

Learning objectives and observable behaviour

Lecture 2a deals with the basics of formulating learning objectives.

Bloom’s taxonomy

In Lecture 2b you will learn more about the different levels of thinking that we want students to obtain. The objectives of your course should match the level of thinking that you want your students to reach. The page also contains a link to a helpful overview of active verbs (structured from lower order learning to higher order learning) that you can use to formulate the learning objectives for your course.

Some more guidelines on formulating learning objectives

In Lecture 2c you will be provided with some extra guidelines and get some practice.

Using the learning objectives to align a course

In Lecture 2d you will read more about how to use the learning objectives to align your course.
