He explained the complementary relationship with the course sequencing working group that is working on more sophisticated sequencing. Jack presented a paper on AICC objectives. The following text is very redundant, having the same coverage as the paper. However, where comments were made outside the scope of the paper, they have been placed in italics. There are two types of objectives, simple and complex.
Simple objectives are inside an assignable unit or au.
The au determines the status of that objective and reports it back to the CMI system. A comment was made that it is problematic if objectives are not required because in the U.K. curricula are objective based. A comment was made that there is a terminological issue around the concept of an objective. It is a deliberate decision to use a term in a special way. Jack commented that in AICC usage an objective is able to report its status.
