To determine the program outline, goals and objectives should be grouped into common areas to help decide how many courses the learners will need to complete to satisfy the goals. 

Keep in mind the time constraints that will placed on the learners and instructors.

Determine an order for courses that makes sense based on the prerequisite knowledge/skills necessary to learn more advanced courses.

	An example for this could be:

	⁃	Teaching learners to manage their time in regards to allotting enough time to complete assignments and activities requires the learners to have knowledge of learning activities and the ability to determine their associated time requirements/difficulty levels.
	⁃	Planning a course to occur prior to the "time management" course that covers the required knowledge would be appropriate and logical.
