These are not objectives yet, they will need to be refined and
reworded to create behavioral objectives. Also, your choice of specific
behavior(s) depends on your choice of audience. Some behaviors will make more
sense than others. You may not be able to fully make that choice until you
complete some formative research and get information from the audience.
