2 Learning Objectives
At the beginning of each module in this program, you can find the Learning Objectives that represent the information and resources provided specifically for that module.
Learning Objectives will be found in boxes that look like this:
Learning Objectives
Here will be module specific learning objectives. They aim to help you remember and recall what you will be learning about, how the information and resources can be understood, and how you can apply that knowledge to the interactive content found within that module.
The first three stages of Bloom's Taxonomy is a useful tool that helped establish the learning objectives set in place for each module.
- Stage 1: Remembering highlights being able to recall facts and basic concepts.
- Stage 2: Understanding highlights being able to explain ideas or concepts.
- Stage 3: Applying highlights being able to use information in new situations.
Guided by these three stages, the learning objectives found in each module are designed to help you remember information and resources that are beneficial in the transition to post-secondary education, provide opportunities for students to understand post-secondary ideas and concepts, and apply the information learned regarding the transition to post-secondary in your first-year transition into a new institution.

Defining Bloom’s Taxonomy
Adapted from Clayton Smith at University of Windsor / Revised by Samantha Szcyrek at University of Windsor
Learning objectives explicitly define and describe the knowledge and resources students can acquire by the end of the module.
Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models used to classify educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. The three lists cover the learning objectives in cognitive, affective and sensory domains.
