A clear learning objective states what the learner will be able to do upon completion of a continuing professional education activity, in terms of a knowledge, skills, or performance change. A clear objective identifies the desired outcome of the educational offering. Here are some examples of good learning objectives:
At the end of this activity, participants will be able to: Cite examples of how AI is used today in IVD testing
At the end of this activity, participants will be able to: Evaluate the strength and potential issues with different experimental setups for selecting and validating a calibration model
To create learning objectives for your program, follow these 3 steps:

---|---|
1. Knowledge | Define, identify, label, list, match, name, recall, recognize, record, relate, repeat, select, state |
2. Comprehension | Classify, compile, conclude, discuss, describe, explain, express, give examples, identify, interpret, recognize, summarize, translate |
3. Application | Apply, calculate, demonstrate, develop, interpret, locate, operate, perform, practice, predict, present, report, use |
