Self-Evaluation for Web-based Class Students

The checklist below has three main purposes:

  1. to check out your attitudes, abilities, and learning styles that tend be to associated with positive web-based learning experiences.
  2. to provide a self-evaluation that will indicate your probable success with computer-mediated learning -- or, conversely, that you might learn better in other, more traditional class settings.
  3. to share learners' profiles with your teacher.

 

 


Check YES or NO for each statement, choosing the option that best describes you.
No.
