Assignments are designed to help learners to apply the knowledge, skills, and attitude from the course. It's a chance for the learners to demonstrate how well they have learned the targeted learning outcomes.
I developed prompts for assignment 5 that align with one of the enabling objectives of module #3.
I also created discussion boards with Padlet that are located at the end of modules #1 and #2 for learners to share their learning experiences.

Instruction of assignment & Guidelines for submission
Assignment #5: Set SMART goals
All assignments in this course lead to increased work performance and employee satisfaction in the organization. In module #3, you assemble mid-term SMART goals.
First, take the course section called SMART Goals in module #3. When you are prompted for assignment #3, follow the procedure in the course or below.
There are 3 ways (PDF/Word/Canva templates) to access the SMART Goals worksheet from the link in the course. The content is the same. Choose one that fits best for you.
Once you copied/downloaded the worksheet, write the SMART details for 2-3 goals on each page. You will create a statement that combines all SMART at the bottom of the page.
After you completed the pages, please upload your SMART Goals worksheet from your local folder to the learning system by the due date specified in the syllabus.
Notes:
The audience is the people closely related to your goals (family, team members, mentors, etc.)
If you copied the Canva template and worked on the Canva site, download the file once to your local folder, then upload it.
The accepted file formats and their limits are doc, docx, pdf (up to 200 MB), jpg, jpeg, and png (up to 10 MB).
The assignment submissions let you earn points by a rubric. The submitted files will not be shared within the organization without your consent and it has no influence on your work performance.
