LPs are absolutely critical to formulating a good instructional flow. It is the the way to make sure that you have planned out all of the requisit activities and learning skills necessary to complete the course content. It is also a very good mechanism for those new instructors who don't have teaching experience but a wealth of practical experience; keep us all focused on the task at hand. Our job to to do whatever is necessary to cause learning to take place in our students.

Using the ABCD method (Mager Method) of writing course objectives works well when the material is mostly concrete and not abstract. How does one construct good objectives when the material is mor on the abstract, say music appreciation?

All of this information seems to be directed only at on groudn instruction. What are some of the differences one would see if they were teaching in an online environment only?
