Which term refers to a skills assessment?

• A. Online Readiness
• B. Online Skills Indicator
• C. A search engine
• D. Tarrant County College

Answer: (B)

Understanding what a skills assessment measures: it’s about evaluating your concrete abilities to perform tasks in a given area. The term that names this kind of evaluation in this context is the Online Skills Indicator. It’s designed to measure your current online-related capabilities—like navigating a learning platform, using common tools, and completing typical online assignments—so you and your instructors know where you stand and what support you might need. Online Readiness, on the other hand, looks at whether you’re prepared to start online learning at all, including basic digital literacy and time management, rather than testing your actual skill performance. A search engine and the college name are not assessments; they’re tools or identifiers. So the correct term for a skills assessment is Online Skills Indicator.
