Pedro Mendoza Education 533 – Instructional Design Dr. Kevin Pyatt

**__Pre-Assessment Plan__** Due to the nature of this hybrid course and the diverse target audience (traditional and non-traditional students), it is imperative to assess, in advance, the skills and/or knowledge these students possess. I will conduct a quick survey to determine how much exposure to this kind of technology they have, or if they have previously used any of these collaborative tools. The answers to these questions will determine how I implement the instructional package. The survey will consist of basic simple questions ranging from basic computer usage/ knowledge to how to set up a collaborative tools account. **__Pre-Assessment Questions:__**

1. Have you ever used any of these tools Wikispaces, ProtoPage, Netvibes, Blackboard, Angel, ePals? 2. If provided with basic instructions, can you set up an account, on your own, with any of the above tools? 3. Have you ever submitted any assignment online? 4. Have you ever collaborated in any online learning environment? 5. Have you ever posted online questions, share comments in any learning forum?

**Advancement/Placement** Student must answer correctly 4 out of 5 from the above set of questions, or show enough competencies in computer skills (i.e. previous computer literacy classes taken before this course) before they can begin this design. 2) Formative on-going observations and assessment to measure levels of proficiencies 3) End of quarter summative assessment to evaluate proficiency in the use of digital tools ||
