What I Know What I Want to Know What I Learned
I begin each each course with a PreTest of the content that will be covered during the course This provides a baseline for each class and assists in customizing course delivery.  Each class of students brings their own special needs.  
The curriculum maps to the industry certification, listing the objectives that are to be covered in each chapter. Does the student understand the importance of these objectives in successfully attaining the mapped certification?  
Each chapter has a set of lab exercises that apply the objectives to performance-based skills. Can the student perform the defined skill with accuracy and understanding?  
Each section of labs concludes with a small number of lab questions.

Does the student understand why they performed an action, and the impact it had on the network.

 
Each new lab builds on the last lab. Failure to follow instructions specifically will lead to flawed outcomes.

Can the student follow instructions?
 

Can the student identify and troubleshoot a problem with the lab outcome?
 
Labs are conducted in teams of two students.

How well can students work together to complete lab assignments. 

How well can students work together to communicate ideas and critically analyze problems.
 
Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced assessments are conducted online at the end of each chapter.

Does the student understand the terminology and content necessary to fulfill the objectives?
Can the student clearly communicate these thoughts, ideas and questions about the content?

Does the student have the illiteracies necessary to function in an online environment?
 
Research papers or projects are used to support content knowledge and soft skills.

How well can the student communicate, present and defend an idea.

How do I evaluate growth in this area.
