# New Feature Release: Display Student Learning Objectives

On Thursday, April 17, we released a new feature for instructors to allow you to display the student learning objective (SLO) number when creating or editing a SIMnet exam. Currently, only SLOs for SIMnet or the *A Skills Approach*books are available. We will be adding SLOs for the *In Practice* and *ProjectLearn*book series in the next few weeks.

To display SLOs in the exam question grid:

1. Create a new exam or edit an existing exam.
2. Click the **Preferences** tab.
3. Click the **Edit** button.
4. Expand the **Objective Reference (SLO)** drop-down list near the bottom of the page, and select the textbook series you are using.
5. Click **Save**.
6. Click the **Make Default** button to add this preference to all future exams.

When you return to the edit exam questions page, the new SLO column is visible in both the*Available Questions*and*Assigned Questions*boxes.

Click the **SLO** heading to sort the question list so questions with the same SLO are grouped together. This is a great way to identify questions that cover the same SLO.

You can also type an SLO number in the filter box below the **SLO** heading to find questions related to a specific learning objective.
