Yehia , You also need to determine what assessment you want to do then find the tool that fits it. I think we get in trouble when we force the tool to do what it really can't. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Marie, I agree with you. I wonder if we do a disservice to students not having a frank discussion about what it takes to be successful regarding availability of technology. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Tammy, Good point. We have to also keep the complaints in check with students. Students will always have to learn new technology throughout their careers. This is a great way to develop that skill. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Ruby, I have actually used simple assessment tool that will help them assess their own skills. Then you can have a frank discussion about the gaps. I would create it in your LMS and then have students take it so you are not singling people out. We have to have more frank discussions with students with debt mounting for them. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
