This is where you identify the learning goals, audience needs, existing knowledge, and other background by doing audience research. Ideally, audience research should be done before you design your workshop or course. I have learned the feng shui of how classroom setup impacts interaction and learning.

Content delivery is less important then the skill to making sense of it and that needs to be what “classroom time” is about. The instructor’s role should be to facilitate this understanding for their students, not dump content on them. They gave the students tests based on content and scored them.

It made me think of the Berkman lecture I heard called " Legal Education in the Networked World " where there was a hot debate about whether laptops in the classroom were a good or bad thing.

You can even workshop the name among staff members or long-time supporters to gather input.
