Planning a course
It is probably helpful to distinguish between the purpose of the teaching institution/system, the purpose of a specific course, and the purpose(s) of a specific educational session. The objectives become more specific as you pass along this spectrum. Confusion is likley to occur if a purpose designed for one use is applied in another.

Planning a teaching session
Start with the end in mind - in other words //why// is this teaching session being carried out? If you are not clear what the learners will gain from the session, it is likley they will gain little. This should help you determine //what// you want the learners to gain from the session (Bloom's taxonomy can help here). When considering //how// you will assist this learning (and assess whether or not you have been successful in doing this) you need to think about //who// you are teaching (number, previous/existing knoweldge and skills, motivation), //where// you are teaching (and the facilities/limitations of that place) and //when// you are teaching (including how much time you have for the session).
