- Name the unit and the focus. Enter the unit or course title and what the objectives are for, for example “Anticoagulant therapy” or “Week 3: contract formation”. The more specific the focus, the more specific the objectives.
- Choose what the objectives are for. One class or session gives narrow objectives you can achieve in one sitting. A module, topic or week is broader. A whole unit or subject gives unit learning outcomes. A course or program gives graduate-level outcomes. This also sets the stem above the list, such as “By the end of this session, students will be able to:”.
- Set how many, the level and the discipline. Leave “How many” on Let the AI decide for a set that fits the scope (usually three to six), or choose a number. The level and discipline set how demanding the objectives are and what counts as good practice in your field.
- Choose the taxonomy. Bloom’s revised taxonomy covers thinking skills and suits most units. Bloom’s three domains adds practical skills (psychomotor) and professional attitudes and values (affective), which suits health, teaching and other practice-based disciplines. SOLO describes depth of understanding, from single facts to extended abstract thinking.
- Choose the thinking level and the style. Suited to the level builds a spread from lower to higher demand. Foundational and Higher-order lean the set one way. Full ABCD writes each objective with its condition and standard (“given a case summary… citing two patient factors”). Concise writes the short form used in most unit outlines.
- Add your own material (optional). Under “Improve your own drafts, source material and more options” you can paste at least two draft objectives to improve, one per line. You’ll get each one back rewritten, with your draft and a note on what changed. You can also add the unit learning outcomes the objectives must support, any standards, competencies or graduate attributes to name, source material such as lecture notes or a reading, and notes about your students.
- Write the objectives. Choose “Write objectives”. The set appears in a few seconds and you’re charged once, when it’s saved. If something goes wrong, you aren’t charged.
- Review and edit. Each objective shows its level, its ABCD parts, how you could assess it and an activity that builds it. Below the set you’ll see the spread across levels and notes on how the set fits together. Choose “Edit objectives” to change any wording, level or detail, or to add, reorder or delete objectives. The level menu suggests verbs for each level, and warnings appear as you type if a verb can’t be observed or measured, if you’ve repeated the stem, or if an objective runs long. Editing is free.
- Rewrite one objective. Under any objective, pick Make it clearer and more measurable, Raise the level, Lower the level or Plainer wording for students, then choose “Rewrite”. Only that objective changes, and only that rewrite is charged.
- Download or copy. Word gives you an editable document with a constructive alignment table (objective, level, how to assess it, learning activity) and an ABCD breakdown. Print / PDF opens a print-ready page. Copy text puts the stem and numbered list on your clipboard, ready for a unit outline or your learning management system (LMS).
- Build on the objectives. From a finished set you can generate up to three lesson plans, an assessment task, 10 MCQs, a presentation or a hybrid AI activity, each built to these objectives and priced on its own button. You can also start here from a case study or a PDF summary. Every set is saved to “My Objective Sets” and to “Everything You’ve Generated” on your User Hub.
Every action’s credit cost is shown on its own button before you commit to it. Nothing is charged silently.
