As an instructor you discover that key learning objectives are not addressing student's needs in your learning material. Choose below the appropriate action that the instructor should take:

The instructor's role is to deliver the course content and provide feedback on its effectiveness. When a systemic issue with learning objectives is identified, the correct procedure is to report this to the team responsible for curriculum development—the courseware or instructional designers. They have the authority and expertise to evaluate the feedback, conduct a needs analysis, and implement standardized changes to the material, ensuring consistency and quality for all future classes.

A. Making ad-hoc content changes can lead to inconsistencies and may violate the terms of the certified instructor agreement, as the material is typically standardized.
C. While a manager should be kept informed, they are not the ones who physically update the courseware; referring the matter to them is an indirect step. ---
