[edit] A tool to help students prepare for on-line courses

The concept is to have a modular tool to help students assess their interest and aptitude for on-line courses and check their computer as well. Instructors can link to the tool with a special URL that they generate by choosing which modules they want to use.

• Should this be in a check list format?
• Cosc has an interesting example: http://www.cosc.brocku.ca/forms/swipe
