24. The Construction of an Online Learning Diagnostic Test
Over the past twenty years, online learning has gained immense popularity at colleges across the globe. As technology has become more sophisticated, the amount of technology being integrated into these courses has increased. In many cases, students are expected to navigate more than one learning management system, use productivity tools, and create multimedia, and it is usually assumed that the students already know how to perform all of these tasks. The reality is that not all students are familiar with online learning tools prior to enrolling in an online course, and therefore, much time and energy is lost at the beginning of the semester to troubleshooting. In an effort to familiarize students with the tools, terminology, and processes needed to navigate their online course, a task oriented assessment was designed that provided students with an “orientation” to the learning management system, basic document formatting, email, and file management.
