Stephanie, Well said! You are right, you need more than one assessment point to assess if a student has learned an outcome. Students are really geared to taking a objective test but that is not always the best way to assess the learning. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Jacqueline, Great example of problems of technology. It is so frustrating for the students (and instructor) to deal with this type of issue. It always seems that these issues never appear during demo! It is hard to walk everyone through loading process at a distance. You might try making a video. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

David, I agree, one assessment point is not an assessment plan. You do want a technology assessment tool that students can input to easily and you can pull output from easily. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Vimlarani, You are right. A good LMS should do be a hub of activity and content. You make a great point about content management that we don't always think about. The content has to be mapped and accessible in more than one way. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
