The things that I would do in the Analysis phase in the ADDIE model (Summarised Version)

Summarised version of the things that I would do in the Analysis phase

For the Analysis phase, we must understand our audience and their characteristics as they would be the one using our e-learning package. For instance, our audience could be either primary or secondary school students. Their characteristics could be different from each other as primary school students could do basic algebra, while secondary school students could do advanced algebra, which primary school students cannot do.

By saying the above, this shows us that we must fulfill the needs of our audience. Different audiences have different needs. Therefore, knowing our audience is the first, yet most important step.

After knowing our audience, we could then come out with the learning objectives for our e-learning package so that the audience should be able to learn and explain certain type of theories. It is also important to create a suitable learning environment for the audience as noisy and distracted learning environment affects the learning process of the audience.

Learning constraints are unavoidable in reality. It affects the learning process of the audience. Music and web-based games are examples of learning constraints that affect audience. There are a few delivery options available for us to communicate the contents through e-learning. We could make use of words, visual aids, audio and more to deliver our e-learning contents to our audience.

We must think what different applications / tools to use in our e-learning package so as to make e-learning more interactive and interesting such as Macromedia Breeze Presenter, Windows Media Player, Macromedia Flash CS3, Macromedia Fireworks CS3, Macromedia Dreamweaver CS3 and more.
