Description:

This Master Prompt would focus on translating evidence from the needs analysis, stakeholder analysis and theoretical foundation into explicit requirements for development. It would guide researchers in converting identified problems and needs into functional requirements, content requirements, pedagogical requirements, technical requirements, usability requirements, accessibility requirements, performance requirements, implementation requirements, constraints, and measurable design criteria.

A major emphasis would be placed on establishing traceability from evidence to requirement to design decision. Researchers would distinguish mandatory requirements from desirable features, prioritize competing stakeholder needs, identify resource and technological constraints, establish development specifications, and formulate design principles that can subsequently guide prototype or model construction. Requirements should therefore not appear suddenly during development; they should be justified by evidence generated during preceding DDR stages. The literature shows this logic through systematic needs assessment, learner-centred requirements and measurable performance objectives within instructional design processes.
