The Hostos Office of Educational Technology has deployed a new version of the “Are You Ready?” Online Learning Assessment.
This assessment is currently in Blackboard, and can be used to help determine and prepare students for what may be their first time using Blackboard in either face-to-face, or online modalities
The assessment is divided into six sections:
1. Pre-Test to help gauge a student’s readiness
2. Online Learning Overview
3. Basic Technology Proficiency
4. Using Blackboard
5. Netiquette and Hostos Services
Each section contains video and text based content to inform students and a short quiz at the end.
In order to proceed to the next section students must pass the quiz in the current section.
At the conclusion students are presented with a certificate to prove their proficiency in an online learning environment that may be asked as proof of completion.
We strongly recommend faculty to use the Are You Ready? Online Learning Assessment with their students.
We are open to share with other campuses, and have been in discussions with colleagues from other community colleges to create a common version for all colleges.
