In applied instructional settings (e.g., training, workshops, teaching, online courses, conference proceedings), goals are set for specific outcomes to be achieved, whether they are affective, cognitive, or behavioral. In these instructional contexts, assessment is used to evaluate the effectiveness of any program or intervention. Additionally, assessment is used to improve upon existing programs and interventions. Students will learn how to develop, conduct, and evaluate sound assessment plans, and provide recommendations based on assessment results.
