Diagnostic Assessment
What are some good examples of diagnostic assessments for computer courses? I find people often overestimate their capabilities on questions and answers.
Jacquilin,
You can create or buy a hands on tutorial that makes students demonstrate their computer skills. There are stand along products that you can puthcase as well as create your own. Most publishers have that capability. the cost can really vary.

I would agree with you and also say that diagnostic assessments should have a certain amount of diversity in the ways that they are done.

Sharon,
You make an interesting comment. What do you mean my diversity? How would you do this?
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
I don't teach computers but I do teach massage and there is no online diagnostic tool for that one. We do Vlogs where the students have to demo then post their videos and the assessment is done that way. It isn't perfect but it beats them writing 2,500 words a week.
