Task Analysis: E-Class Assignment Creation

I chose to do my task analysis using the procedural analysis. This helps give my learners
step-by-step instructions on how to properly accomplish the task. I believe that the
learners would appreciate this type of analysis being that there are many steps that must
be done in a particular order to properly complete the task.
