7. Assessment
• Asynchronous timed online pre-test the week prior to
class. Online course material will be made available after
the pre-testing period closes. An online post-test will be
conducted within 72 hours of the on-the-ground class
and pre vs. post test scores can be compared.
• The learner’s weekly reflection will help to identify
learning
• The online videos will be used for the instructor to
assess individual’s ability to properly counsel a patient
regarding inhaler use
• Feedback will be obtained via various mechanisms
