Information for Presenters and Instructors

CE activity presenters and instructors are responsible for generating certain information. This includes the activity title, description, learning outcomes and content. The format for most of this is determined by the activity organizers. However, the learning outcomes statements must conform to a specific format.

Learning outcomes consist of a set (usually three) of statements that define the learning that the activity participants can expect to experience. Learning outcomes statements generally take the form of the following examples:

For an hour lecture:

"As a result of this activity, participants will be able to describe (VERB) the three language representation methods (OBJECT) used in AAC assistive technology."

For a presentation that includes demonstrations:

"As a result of this activity, participants will be able to interpret (VERB) the AAC Performance Report (OBJECT), including the use and performance of language representation methods."

For a full day workshop with hands on project opportunities:

"As a result of this activity, participants will be able to measure and compare (VERBs) the communication performance (OBJECT) of language representation methods used by their clients."

VERBS used in this format are taken from a list compiled by Richard Bloom in 1956. Bloom's Taxonomy organizes these verbs according to the level of learning that is experienced. Click on Bloom's Taxonomy for additional information, including lists of verbs and instructional strategies. Acceptable verbs are not limited to those in the lists.

OBJECTS used in this format relate to the content of the presentation.
