Abstract

Knowledge check questions are a relatively new instructional strategy employed worldwide in e-learning, particularly in government and academia. These self-test questions focus a learner’s attention on relevant content and clear misconceptions before progressing further into the lesson. The U.S. Government developed the Shareable Content Reference Model (SCORM); now become a standard for e-learning in government, academia, and business. Even though this is the case, there is little in the way of instructional design guidelines for SCORM-based courses that include knowledge check questions. The session considers the best practices on two organizations [the University of South Florida, College of Public Health (USF-COPH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF)] and how we have implemented knowledge check questions in our e-learning environments.
