Hi Timothy: A good course outline that lists both the student learning outcomes (SLO's) and course objectives (CO's) could help out a lot. SLO's state the "WHAT" a student will learn whereas the CO's define the "HOW" the teacher will go about teaching the class. SWo, based on the course SLO's and CO's, the teacher can examine how they can best break down their daily lessons and select the media, teaching aides, activities, and assessments that will assure the CO's and SLO's are met. I've sort of simlified things here a bit, but in my opinion, it really comes down to these steps. Regards, Barry
