In video games, players often have the option of going to a screen to see the objectives, goals, and tasks for a ceratin level and that doesnt diminish the experience of the game, just like a link to objectives wouldnt diminish the learning. Im not sure I suggested writing WIIFM learning objectives, but they probably have their uses.
