Step 1:  Complete the Learner Analysis worksheet (copy the table below into a document) with as much information as you can about the target population for the tutorial you will create. Use outside resources like government websites (e.g., EuroStat) and consumer websites to help inform your responses. You must consult a minimum of two outside sources. Please include your sources used at the end of the worksheet (URLs are fine).

Step 2:  Create a persona profile to represent your learner population. Your persona profile can be designed in whichever layout you prefer. In your persona profile, please include the following information:

• A name

• A picture

• A profile nickname

• Gender

• Age

• Location

• Occupation

• Brief story about the persona’s personal motivation for learning the topic

• Specific goals 

• Frustrations

The following information is optional but can be included to help you better understand your persona:

• Family background

• Hobbies

• Additional images that represent the persona’s interests

Please credit the websites you use for your images at the bottom of your persona profile page.
