Course Outlines vs. Learning Plans

"Learning is more efficient if guided by a process structure (e.g. learning plan) than by a content structure (e.g. course outline)." -- Malcolm Knowles (page 229).

First, do you agree?

And second, if you do, then why do we have a system in place to make sure that all classes have approved common course outlines, but no system in place to ensure that all students develop learning plans?
