Rationale: Originally part of the larger Public Speaking module, this content was restructured as a micro-lesson to reduce cognitive load and provide a concise, digestible learning experience. While audience analysis can involve surveys, testing, and in-depth research, most learners benefit more from practical strategies. This lesson emphasizes essential techniques that promote reflection, self-directed learning, and immediate application. The micro-learning format reinforces key concepts in a low-stakes, accessible way, supporting skill development without overwhelming learners.

Considerations: Because of the content format and type of information, this micro-lesson did not naturally lend itself to visuals, raising concerns about learner engagement. To address this, I developed supportive visuals to reinforce key text and incorporated end-of-lesson knowledge checks to strengthen retention and promote active engagement.
