Determine Learning Objective

Before developing SIMs, it is important to determine the learning objectives that the materials will address. Learning objectives should be clear and specific and should describe what the learner is expected to know or be able to do after completing the SIM. For example, if the SIM is designed to teach a language, the learning objectives might include being able to speak and understand basic conversational phrases, read and write simple sentences, and understand the basic grammar rules of the language.
