Hilfe:Learning Objective Page
A learning objective describes a specific topic to be taught to the students and the competencies that students are expected to acquire. Its encompassing area of knowledge is defined by the corresponding domain.
General information about a learning objective, e.g. its domain, a short description of its content ("LO-Text") and a list of "verbs" defining the abilities and depth of knowledge to be imparted to a student (level 4 being the most profound) are listed in the table on the top.
A table further below displays all learning objectives subordinate to the currently viewed one. You will have this in hierarchical learning objective catalogues.
Creating a new learning objective
To create a new learning objective, go to the main page of its parent catalogue and click the button "Add a new learning objective" underneath the catalogue information table on the left. You will be redirected to a form where you can enter the required data. If you have no permission to edit the form please contact the HI-LONa administrator.
LO-ID
gives the creator of a Learning objective catalog the opportunity to give the learning objectives of his catalog self-determined identifiers. The uniqueness isn't controlled.
Domain
here, you have to select the domain to which this learning objective belongs. Enter the domain PIN (D-PIN).
Topic
If your learning objective catalog is based on a catalog of topics, where the learning objectives are at the end of the catalog's tree, you first need to enter this catalog of topics (see Help:Domain Page). You can then selectthe topic ID, to which this learning objective belongs.
LO-Text (De), LO-Text (EN)
Description of the learning objective's content. In HI-LONa it was initially planned to write the verbs describing the expected depth of the acquired competence into the corresponding fields from "Verb in Level1" to "Verb in Level4". However, we have since realized that it is particulary in German challenging to seperate the topic from the verbs while also ensuring the text is easy to read. To adress this, we have decided to enter the topic and the verbs in the "LO-Text" field and to use "Level 1" ... and "Level 4" only to indicate the abilities and depth of knowledge of a learning objective. If the text of a learning objective comprises more than one aspect, it is possible to select more than one level for a learning objective.
- Level 1: know and understand (Kennen & Verstehen)
- Level 2: apply and analyse (Anwenden & Analysieren)
- Level 3: evaluate and synthesise (Bewerten & Synthetisieren)
- Level 4: attitudes, values and mindset. (Einstellungen & Werte & Haltungen)
It is the author's duty to choose the corresponding verbs in the learning objective's text.

Didactic Note

Parent LO
This attribute makes the newly created learning objective subordinate to the entered learning objective and will be listed as such on the parent's page. In order to select a Parent LO, its unique identifier must be entered, e.g. "LZ-PIN 101". Type at least one letter to browse learning objectives in the dropdown menu.
Sources of this LO
Since August 2026 the sources of a learning objective can be cited directly by giving the pagename of a corresponding learning objective or a corresponding module description (if they are documented in HI-LONa). It is still possible to have a version step as source of a learning objective as it was before August 2026.
When finished click "Save page" on the lower left. HI-LONa automatically assigns a unique identifier starting with "LZ-PIN" as the page name.
Editing an existing learning objective
If you would like to edit an existing learning objective, click the tab "Edit with form" on the top right of the learning objective page. You will be redirected to the same form used to create a new learning objective with all current meta data pre-filled.
