This competence refers to the ability to conduct an analysis of the market, context and target groups before a media-based learning offer is planned. This means that teachers should be able to analyse the educational market in order to determine whether there are already useful learning opportunities. In addition, the context in which the learning offer is to be used should be understood and the needs and characteristics of the target groups should be taken into account.

A thorough market, context and target group analysis is crucial to ensure that a media-based learning offer meets the needs and that it is integrated into the teaching in a targeted manner.

Based on this analysis, it decides to shape its course in such a way that it differs from existing offers and the course is accessible to all.
