A Knowledge Transferring Assessment combines the knowledge assessment directly with the knowledge transfer. In this sense it is a specific form of an Online Assessment/E-assessment/Computer-based assessment implementing a "Pull Learning Approach". In contrast to an Online Assessment which may finalize a formal training in order to assess the gained knowledge (as part of a "Push Learning Approach" ), a Knowledge Transferring Assessment replaces the formal training by providing the required or desired knowledge fully integrated in the assessment by means of a specific design. Advantages Each trainee only spends the time required to gain the still missing knowledge. I.e. no time is wasted for the knowledge already sufficient to answer related assessment questions. The assessment itself becomes the means to "pull" the information required (See "pull based learning" ) Performers become aware of the availability of the web based material, useful for their "Self-efficacy" in their day-to-day work. The desired/required knowledge can be gained during the assessment by the way. Any existing knowledge base or knowledge material can be integrated provided it meets the minimum requirements: Reachable via a URL The granularity conforms with the assessed questions in the way that the knowledge required to answer a question can be gathered from one to two web pages, i.e. the knowledge is not spread over too may pages The content of the material provides the required knowledge in a simple and efficient manner The content is structured in correspondence with the assessed questions Primary design principles The below principals are mandatory for a Knowledge Transferring Assessment and thus differ from the form of usual Online Assessments performed e.g. at the end of a formal training. The Knowledge Transferring Assessment is web based and thus can be used like Web-based teaching materials. The Knowledge Transferring Assessment primarily makes use of multiple choice questions. However, other forms like a "sequence of steps" or a so-called Click Assessment are alternatives. The latter is a means to assess a users ability to use an application software correctly when performing a certain task. In a Knowledge Transferring Assessment each question refers (via a URL) to the source(s) providing the required knowledge, i.e. enable to answer the question correctly. In case of a multiple choice question all answers but one are correct. By that, the one and only incorrect answer is the correct one (See Objective Assessment). Sample question: "Which of the below named tasks is not
