J, A few more suggestions to add to your list of strategies of how to get to know your
audience include:
Tap into the expertise of developers of web training modules that have a lot of useful
information to share.
Beta testing the product (Standard business procedure)
Use a learning sytle inventories online tool
free-learning-styles inventory.com (http://www.learning-styles-online.com/inventory/)
Abiator’s Learning Style Inventoryhttp://www.berghuis.co.nz/abiator/lsi/lsiframe.html
Develop different versions of the training modules that users will be directed to based on
the learning style
Evaluation/feedback survey tools (Oh, so common on the web) for modules
Obviously these suggestions are not new or innovative. However, with the ever evolving
nature of the web and technology, (y)our work is never really static or done. The
instructional design process/product is iterative.
