Display course learning objectives

Show learning objectives on a page

Add an objectives block to display the course’s learning objectives directly on a page. The block reads the objectives you define in course settings and renders them as a list. If no objectives exist yet, authors see a dashed placeholder prompting them to add objectives in course settings; learners see nothing.

How to use it

1. Open a page in the studio canvas.
2. Choose Insert block and select Learning objectives from the Assessment group.
3. The block appears with a default heading of What you’ll learn. You can change the heading by editing the block in the inspector.

To set the objectives themselves:

1. Open Course settings from the studio toolbar.
2. Add your course-level learning objectives in the objectives field, or in Goals & objectives.
3. Return to the page. The objectives block lists the course’s objectives under the heading, with any performance indicators indented under their objective.

Learners see approved objectives only. Draft objectives show on the canvas while you edit but not in preview or a published course, and retired objectives never show. See Manage learning objectives.

Availability and limits

• Objectives are managed at the course level in course settings, not edited inline within the block.
• The block displays all approved, non-retired course objectives; you cannot filter or select a subset per page.
• The heading defaults to “What you’ll learn” and can be customized, but the objective list itself is not editable on the block.
