What are the audience needs?

“Putting the end user first” is a critical part of OBPE.  Think of the end user as the target audience whose needs you meet.

Audience needs may be wants, deficits, conditions, or other gaps between skills/knowledge audiences already have and those they want.

Sometimes audiences request programs. Sometimes program planners plan programs to fill gaps between the current situation and what they want for audiences.

Try thinking what the audiences listed below might need.
