We'll be glad to check your answer.

I have completed this lesson but was having some trouble and wanted someone else to check over it before i submitted. After looking through several other students post, it looked as if they were just asking the question - instead of giving their answer and one respond.

After reading Chapter 2, bout identifying your audience, i felt like the best answer was D-secondary audience. I'm really not that confident in this lesson though.

We will sometimes answer one or two multiple choice questions from a person. However, when I saw a lot of your posts and no attempt to answer them, I turned the answer back to you.

I believe you're right that the trainers are a secondary audience.

D - I am not so sure about my answer

The trainers would be classified as the primary audience for your manual.

To determine the type of audience for your manual, you can consider a few factors:

1. Relevance: The trainers are directly involved in delivering the training seminars to the new users. Therefore, they are your primary audience as they will use the manual directly in their training sessions.

2. Expertise: The trainers are experienced professionals who have knowledge and expertise in the computer system. They are not only responsible for conducting the training but are also expected to have a deep understanding of the system. They will be able to provide valuable feedback and suggestions to improve the manual.

3. Feedback: The trainers are likely to provide comments and feedback on your draft. Their input will help you refine and improve the manual, ensuring that it effectively meets the needs of the new users.

Based on these factors, it is clear that the trainers are the primary audience for your manual. They are key stakeholders in the training process and will be relying on the manual to teach new users about the company's computer system.
