I personally think both analysis and design can’t be separated from each other. Analysis will make yourself analyze the details of your project, and also a clear analysis will make learners/reader get a better understanding of what your purposes are in this piece of model. In addition, if you can make the analysis clear, you should be able to create a good design of your project for people to learn from it. So I think both of them are connected to each other in order to make something organized and neat.
For the “Information R/Evolution” video, I feel like if you can provide a detailed and clear instruction for learners to explore, the steps will definitely be reduced and might turn out a better effect. For example, in my CECS 5100 course, the Professor doesn’t really provide a neat instruction when asking student to do programming stuff. If he can provide a clear direction to show us how to do something, we might spend lesser time to figure it out by ourselves.

Hi, Tracy!
You're absolutely right. analysis and design are definitely linked together. The analysis, ideally, should guide the design. I like to think of it as a flow instead of a step-by-step process, since the design can send you back to the analysis phase for more clarification.
And you brought up a good point from Information R/Evolution -- most learning today seems to be a self-guided journey, and the steps need to be clear so others can find the solution. I found this to be the case when I took CECS 5100 last semester. I found that the Internet was my friend and I found several tutorial websites to help me survive. :)
Have a good week! Scott
