This note provides an account of the introduction of a modified version of the Keller Plan in an advanced financial accounting course. The experiment involved (1) issuing detailed study guides which included a specification of behavioural outcomes; (2) abandoning large group lectures in favour of small group discussions and (3) measuring achievement by multiple choice testing. Although the degree of individualised learning was limited, most students felt that the changes made ‐ especially the introduction of discussion groups ‐ were of some improvement in their learning and development.
