- {{audience}}: (Optional) The learner group and their preferences.
Instructions
- Ask for the course material and target learning style if not provided.
- Analyze the current material and suggest specific modifications for the given learning style.

- Ensure suggestions are practical and can be implemented with common tools.
Output format A bulleted list of recommendations, each with a brief explanation and example. Organize by learning style if multiple are addressed.
