Knowing who your learners are and what they need is crucial for creating relevant and impactful content. This lesson dives deep into building detailed learner personas — fictional but realistic profiles that represent your ideal students.

You’ll learn how to gather data through surveys, interviews, social media listening, and online forums. We’ll analyze common learner pain points, goals, and motivations specific to your niche. For example, if you’re creating a course on project management for beginners, you might discover that your learners struggle most with time management and prioritization.

We’ll cover segmentation strategies to group learners by skill level, job role, learning preferences, and challenges. Using these insights, you’ll tailor your course content, pacing, and examples to meet diverse needs. The lesson also includes templates and exercises for crafting personas, helping you visualize and empathize with your students to improve course design and communication.
