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

/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
