How will the institution make learners aware of the requirements for learning in this manner?
Does the institution provide learners with a self-assessment tool such as Kizlik’s readiness assessment (http://www.adprima.com/dears.htm) or Cypress College’s readiness assessment (http://www.cypresscollege.edu/DistanceEdquiz/CCDERQ.aspx)?
• How will the institution make learners aware of the requirements for learning in this manner? For example, do learners know that distance courses require discipline and organization in setting aside time to complete the learning, as well as reading and comprehension skills to understand the concepts and develop the skills necessary for this program or course? Do students have the ability to follow directions and ask questions and the ability to work on their own under the guidance of a faculty member?
