Self Assessments for Students Considering Online Learning

If your nursing program wants to develop a web site for online learners, the first step is to provide self assessments for learners. There's no need to create your own assessments, simply link to existing assessments of readiness for distance learning and learning styles inventories. I have listed several for you. Some are longer than others...give them a try and select the ones that work for your program.
