Who will be your audience for your instruction set? it can’t be everyone. Find your target audience and then outline what level of competency they have, why
they are your target audience, and what you know about them that will be helpful in designing an instruction set.
This should be 1-2 pages. See sample for guidance. Check resources in Week 5 (Link will open in this tab.)module for more information. Like I said, you can’t
write an instruction set to ‘everyone’. If you are writing how to build a computer, what level of skill does that person have? Is it a beginner, or someone who
has done this before and wants expert tips? You decide, but be clear in this analysis.
Additional guidance:
As an English professor who uses games in my classes, I might choose an audience of English professors who know little about using video games as
literature for a process instruction on how to do so. I will assume they understand literary terms but will need more basic terminology on video games. I
would explain to them the difference between a player character and a non-player character and give a broad history of stories in games. For an audience
that knows video games well, I would not do that.
