Goals

The Goals tool allows you to record the goals for a course, and to create categories to organize them. For example, you may want to create an Institution category to record your institution's general goals for all Students, as well as a category for each unit in your course.

You can also associate files and course content with goals. You can associate the following content with any goal:

• assessments
• assignments
• chat rooms
• discussion topics
• learning modules
• media library collections
• a syllabus
• web links

Associating content allows you to communicate to Students which items in the course will support progress towards the achievement of each goal. For example, if a goal is for Students to become familiar with Monet's paintings, you can create a link from this goal to a Media Library collection containing image files of the paintings.

You can set permissions to allow Students to view associated files and content.
