Learning Diagnostic Assessment

Create assessments that diagnose learner readiness, identify gaps, and recommend personalized starting points.

When to Use

Course placement
Prerequisite validation
Personalized pathway routing
Prior learning assessment
Skill gap identification

Assessment Types

1. Placement Tests

Determine appropriate course level
Route to beginner/intermediate/advanced
Validate prerequisites

2. Knowledge Gap Analysis

Identify specific missing concepts
Map to remediation content
Prioritize interventions

3. Prior Learning Assessment

Credit for prior experience
Portfolio-based assessment
Challenge exams

4. Readiness Checks

Prerequisites met?
Motivational readiness?
Technology access?

Design Principles

Efficient Coverage:

Sample across objectives
Quick administration (10-20 min)
Computer-adaptive if possible

Actionable Results:

Clear starting point recommendation
Specific gap identification
Next-step guidance

Low-Stakes:

No grades, just guidance
Multiple attempts allowed
Formative purpose

CLI Interface

bash

/learning.diagnostic-assessment --objectives "course-objectives.json" --format "adaptive"
/learning.diagnostic-assessment --placement --levels "beginner,intermediate,advanced"
/learning.diagnostic-assessment --gap-analysis --domain "mathematics" --level "algebra"

Output

Diagnostic test items
Scoring rubric/algorithm
Routing logic
Learner feedback templates
Remediation recommendations

Composition

Input from: /curriculum.design, /learning.pathway-designer Output to: Learner placement, personalization system

Exit Codes

0: Diagnostic created
1: Insufficient objective coverage
2: Invalid routing logic
