    3. Overview Learner and Contextual Analysis Identifying constraints and opportunities >Identify prerequisites > Start broad and refine to more detail as you progress in the design process

    4. What is a learner analysis? A description of the target population >Describes the range of learners in a class or category > The target audience > The primary group who will receive the instruction. You may think about the target audience as a subset of the target population.

    5. Why analyze learners? >To identify the characteristics of the population >Specifically, those that can impact learning or instruction. > For example: - The attention span of the target audience - Not available for training during work hours

    6. What to look for in learners� General learner characteristics Broad identifying variables Age, gender, work exp., education, ethnicity Specific entry competencies Prerequisite skills and attitudes needed Affective Characteristics Feelings about learning, self-concept, and socialization Learning styles Traits that refer to how one approaches a learning task and processes information

    7. Analysis tools To find out about the learner, use: } Surveys and questionnaires } Interviews } Standards } Observations } Suggestion box } Extant data

    8. Analysis Tools Con�t Grades and exam results Entry tests Performance Reviews Personnel records Newsletters, meeting notes Company info

    9. How to do a needs analysis > Triangulation - Use a combination of three methods of data collection - Select the methods for the particular type of question you are asking or data you are collecting - Each method should focus on getting data related to the same problem, learner population, or context Select methods you could reasonably do!

    10. Implications for instruction Selecting instructional strategies Selecting delivery methods Group or individual presentation Self-directed v. instructor-directed Small group or individual activity

    11. Be thinking of your ISD Plan! First on your own, then in pairs, discuss how the following characteristics impact learning and your instructional design for your particular target audience: General, physical Sociological and socioeconomic Educational level Psychological characteristics (motivation)

    12. Example learner analysis How would you describe this class?

    13. Contextual Analysis Can provide relevant ideas for: Creating examples Creating realistic instruction Creating concrete examples Learning doesn�t occur in a vacuum. The larger environment can make or break instruction and learning.

    14. Three types of context Orienting Context Learner analysis Instructional context Also called environmental analysis Transfer context How do we facilitate transfer of knowledge from the instructional environment to the job?

    15. Context is important You cannot avoid context Instructional design must be context sensitive - Different designs are required for different contexts - Learning should take place in context We can accommodate context, but we can not control it
