Goals and Stakeholder Alignment

This unit orients students to the course roadmap by unpacking the book’s stated goals and helping learners position themselves within the learning community. Students will translate course-level objectives into personal learning goals and map relationships between individual roles and stakeholders to prepare for collaborative projects in subsequent units.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the ‘Goal of the Book’ content to identify at least three course-level learning outcomes and the criteria used to assess them
• Apply the SMART goal framework to draft and document three measurable personal learning goals that correspond to course outcomes
• Demonstrate the ability to create a stakeholder map that categorizes at least four roles (e.g., student, peer, instructor, employer) and describes two key responsibilities or expectations for each
• Evaluate the alignment between personal learning goals and the course goals and revise one personal goal to improve its alignment and measurability
