If so please share a little bit about what the assessment looks like and how it guides instruction. Also, how might you respond to the criticisms above in terms of using an assessment with your student population? Regards, Mariann Mariann, I have used a Computer Skills Assessment with adult learners for many years. The link is as follows: http://www-tcall.tamu.edu/docs/COMPASSM.HTM This is now not as current as it could be thinking that photography, video, etc should be included. This assessment does not seem to limit learners, but to guide them in their learning, and help to give them a focus for their instruction. It usually does the same for teachers. I am not with students day to day now, but still work in the field. I created this assessment while working one-on-one and in small groups with adult learners who were new and emerging readers. Programs can adapt it to meet the needs of their adult learners. Thanks, Jackie Hamlett
