Front-End Analysis
The Front-End Analysis is the first step in the process. So what is a Front-End Analysis anyway?
FRONT-END ANALYSIS: An analysis that is performed in order to gather crucial information which will be used to develop technically sound instruction.What does a Front-End Analysis consist of?
Goal Analysis: This technique is used to analyze a goal to identify the sequence of operations and decisions required to achieve it.
Needs/Performance Analysis: A systematic process for determining goals, identifying discrepancies between optimal and actual performance, and establishing priorities for action.
Target Population: A description of those whom the instruction is intended (the learners). Knowing the audience will greatly aid in training development.
Learning Environment Analysis: A description of the environment where the learning will take place. Knowing the environment will greatly aid in training development.
Instructional Strategy: An instructional strategy is a combination of technique, media (or delivery method), and location which shapes the instruction.
The Design Phase is the next step in the process. So what is the Design Phase anyway?
