Decide what to build first.
Learning needs analysis
Understanding the audience, the gap and the goal before any content is built.
Overview
Learning needs analysis
Many courses fail because they answer the wrong problem. A needs analysis finds out who the learners are, what they already know and what they need to do differently.
It gives the project a clear target and a basis for measuring success.
