Audience












                                          The audience must be able to access and comprehend the


                                          information. What knowledge and expectations are they likely


                                          to have when they arrive at the site?







                                          How much time do they have? When would this information be


                                          most useful: before, during, or after experiencing the resource?







                                          What primary languages? literacy patterns? ages? group types?






                                          What are their motivations for coming to the site?







                                          Are there cultural differences to take into account?







                                          What physical abilities do they have?


                                          The more detailed the audience profile, the easier it is to select


                                          appropriate media.
