Create course-specific objectives or import objectives from the domain.
Buzz lets you create your own course-specific objectives and/or import objectives using standards that have been added at the domain level. Once imported or created, you can align these standards with activities to specify course objectives and support competency-based learning models.
Import existing standards
- Navigate to the Editor using the Main Menu.
- Expand the left panel and select the Objectives tab.
- Click Edit.
- Click Import.
- From here you would choose from existing standards that exist in your domain. For example, you might be asked to specify location, grade, and subject for a list of available Common Core standards.
- Click OK to import.
Create standards
- Navigate to the Editor using the Main Menu.
- Expand the left panel and select the Objectives tab.
- Click Edit.
- Click Add. Buzz asks you to confirm that you are not intending to import an existing standard; click Yes to continue in creating your own.
- Provide an ID for the standard in the left field and enter the new standard in the right.
- Click OK.
Notes
- Previously, the course-specific objectives created using Add appeared only in the students' Objective Mastery screens. As of January 2016, both imported objectives and objectives created in the course appear in:
- Mastery Reports
- The Performance tool's Mastery screen
- Each student's Objective Mastery screen

Ryan,
Is there a template for importing objectives/standards that do not exist in the system? I have used one for brain honey and it worked but the template does not seem to work for buzz.
Thanks
As an admin, you can import objectives into your domain. See How do I batch import data using tab-delimited and comma-separated files? Importing objective data.
