What
is a Curriculum Outline of Instruction (COI)?
The Curriculum Outline of Instruction (COI) is a document
that displays the units and lesson topics for the course as
well as the terminal and enabling objectives. The units and
lesson topics, and their learning objectives are listed in
the order they will be taught.

What
are the parts of a Curriculum Outline of Instruction (COI)?
Units and lesson topics are two types
of major divisions in a course. When all of the terminal objectives
and enabling objectives in a course have been properly sequenced,
the divisions of the course can be identified:
- The course
is first broken down into one or more major divisions. These
major divisions are called units.
- Once the units have been identified,
each of the Units is broken down into a separate set of
divisions. These divisions are called lesson topics.

How
do I develop a Curriculum Outline of Instruction (COI)?
Click
on the steps below to guide your development of a Curriculum
Outline of Instruction (COI).
1.
Review the sequenced terminal objectives and look for "major
changes" in the subject matter content.
2. Assign terminal
objectives to units.
3. Review the
list of sequenced enabling objectives in each Unit and look
for "major changes" in the subject matter content
within this unit.
4. Divide the
units into lessons.
5. Name the
units and lessons.
1. Review the list of sequenced
terminal objectives and look for "major changes"
in the subject matter content.
Review the list of sequenced terminal objectives (TOs). Make
a special note of points in the course where content goes
from:
- One system to another
- One subsystem to another
- Theory/knowledge to performance/skill
- Operations to maintenance
Each of these major
changes in the course content is considered to be a "natural
break." Consider these points as candidates for course
units.
2. Assign terminal
objectives to units.
Assign the terminal objectives (TOs) to units by clicking
on the "Unit Divider" line whenever you want to
designate a "natural break." This line will indicate
the end of one unit and the beginning of another one.
3. Review the list of sequenced
enabling objectives in each Unit and look for "major
changes" in the subject matter content within this unit.
Make a special note of points in the course where content
goes from:
- One system to another
- One subsystem to another
- Theory/knowledge to performance/skill
- Operations to maintenance
Each of these major
changes in the course content is considered to be a "natural
break." Consider these points as candidates for lesson
topics.
4. Divide the units
into lessons.
Divide each unit into lessons by clicking on the "Lesson
Divider" line whenever you want to designate a "natural
break." This line will indicate the end of one lesson
and the beginning of a new one.
5. Name the units
and lessons.
Assign a title to each unit. The title should be descriptive
of the unit content.
Example:
- A unit that covers pole climbing,
power distribution blueprints, setting utility poles could
be given the descriptive title "Power Distribution."
Assign a title to each
lesson topic. The title should be descriptive of the content
covered by the lesson topic.
Example:
- A lesson that covers knowledge and
skill learning objectives related to the inspection of underwater
hulls could be titled "Underwater Hull Inspection."
