In this example, the objective requires the learner to successfully print a Word document. In order to master this objective, the learner must complete a set of four steps.
If the learner completes Steps 1 through 4 then the progress measure for the objective is 1 (when completion status is determined completed the value 1 is set for progress measure). If no steps were completed then the progress measure for the objective is 0 (when completion status is determined incomplete the value 0 is set for progress measure).
Based on the project requirements, it can be determined that each step completed returns a designated progress measure or it could return 0. For example if the learner completes:
- Step 1 then the progress measure is set to 0.25
- Step 2 then the progress measure is set to 0.5
- Step 3 then the progress measure is set to 0.75
- Step 4 then the progress measure is set to 1.0
The progress measure values are decided upon by the content developer and are based on the project requirements.
This is only an example of how you could determine Objectives – Progress Measure. There are many other ways beyond this example.
