University of Houston-Downtown
Online Learning Readiness Self-Assessment 2.0
for Canvas LMS, updated Spring 2024


Hybrid and online courses are different from face-to-face courses in lots of ways. Similarly, what's required of a student in hybrid and online courses can sometimes come as a surprise. Are you ready to be an online learner at the University of Houston-Downtown? Take this self-assessment, and get specific feedback based on your own, individual needs. This self-assessment has 22 questions, and it shouldn't take more than a few minutes for you to complete! Feel free to return to this useful tool at any point during your studies at UHD. Note: You may want to print out or make a PDF of your feedback page for your and/or your instructor's records.
