# 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.simnetonline.com/blog/2014-posts/new-feature-release-display-student-learning-objectives.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
