I think there is some debate about this. It's probably better to only use verbs that can be demonstrated. But if you do want to use "explain," then allow learners to enter short answers or else to select from a list of short explanations in a multiple choice test. Other approaches would be to allow learners to "explain" or "discuss" through social media channels. Sorry, I didn’t I didn’t see Larry’s question so I didn’t answer.

I agree with you about the low value of a "drawn out list of 'You will be able to...Describe, Name, Explain, Analyse,...etc.' which can very quickly dampen enthusiam as it's too abstract and doesn't show immediate relevance." I want to ask if you are suggesting that learning objectives are optional for web based training, or if you think they are required, but need to be written better?
