Learner Analysis General characteristics: The target audience is graduate students who major in instructional technology. Some of them in the last semester to complete their master’s program and others just started their program. All students have a good experience with computer and integrating technology into the classrooms because most of them are teachers. Personal and social characteristics: All students have an access to a computer that has limited multimedia programs, and access to the internet. They look for touchable content that it is easy to memorize and beneficial to use in their teaching careers. In addition, there are no conventional characteristics. Finally, the following cognitive developmental characteristics should be known when we need to write lesson procedures and instructional material in our teaching plans.
