JQ Johnson of the University of Oregon wrote that a self evaluation tool can be used: > to build active learning into > didactic materials. For example, web based instruction, like print, tends > to be large blocks of text with a few page-turns (hyperlinks). Simply > replacing the text with a set of questions and providing detailed feedback > of why the answers given are right or wrong makes it much more interactive > without requiring much development work. As an example, see > http://libweb.uoregon.edu/getready/handson/ > This self evaluation tool is used additionally to guide users to the appropriate online tutorials on various topics such as email and searching the Web. Silvia Muller of Rutgers uses self evaluation questions on her workshop registration pages. For an example, see the "PPP Setup Workshop Registration" page at http://diglib.rutgers.edu/special/register/PPPmac.html Gateway Technical College (WI) has a self evaluation form designed to help students decide if they're suited to taking online classes, or if traditional classroom courses would be better for them. See the Independent Learner Profile at http://www.gateway.tec.wi.us/programs/independ.htm If anyone knows of other examples please post them to the list, as several people have expressed an interest in this topic. Thanks, and thanks to all who replied to my question! Tiffany Severns Waukegan Public Library
