JQ Johnson of the University of Oregon wrote that a self evaluation tool
can be used:

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!
