Analysis and Planning
I used a learner persona template to conduct interviews with members of the target audience and gain clarity on the learner motivation.
I analyzed the needs analysis (organization and learner) to determine performance objectives and learning objectives.
I created a planning document to ensure:
Performance activities and assessments aligned with course objectives.
Gradual increase of Bloom’s to build and sustain learner motivation.

I created a pre & post assessment to align with the learner analysis, learning objectives, and performance objectives.
The assessment was designed to measure growth after the completion of the workshop.
Learner Motivation
A variety of tools were used to engage and sustain the motivation of learners, including
Creating a realistic and relatable scenario to motivate students who may not realize the importance of the topic.
Creating optional, higher-level activities for learners who need challenges.
