Good points, well taken. What I'm trying to do is exactly what's happening:
think about how to think about this by asking people with opinions and
experience. I'm trying to keep the framework in mind, and given people's
tendency to, as you well said, not know their programs thoroughly, offer
choices that should add up to their own set of basic tools in whatever system
they like best. Or at least, that's where I am so far in coming up with
ideas. Let's see what others have to say. Thanks!

I have been reading, with great interest, all of your comments. I am
planning a 3-hour session for the members of our SOPHE chapter, and trying
to decide what we can accomplish that would be beneficial in that time
frame. Some members have suggested some hands-on experience using
computers, but I think we can't develop skills in 3 hours. I have to agree
with a comment that students/members should focus on their needs and the
software they are familiar with. It just makes sense that no one can be a
fountain head of information about any subject. The other good point
mentioned is that health education program developers need to know their
limitations.... what they can accomplish themselves and what they need for
others to do for them. The problem is how does one assess that. Seems we
need a technology survey instrument or maybe a decision tree to help
determine skills and needs. Does anyone know if either of these exist among
computer science or technology disciplines? Also do high school or college
level computer classes use an assessment instrument with their students?
To share a personal technology experience ..... I attended 2 6-hour MS
Access training courses hoping to be able to set up a data base and perform
analysis. What I learned from the courses is that I could not set up the
extensive data base myself. But, as a result of the class, I learned what
MS Access was capable of doing/performing. Then, I found someone to set it
up for me with multiple relational tables, data entry forms and analysis
reports. The classes helped me to organize and communicate to the developer
what I wanted to accomplish.

Robert,
You may want to try the American Association for Higher Education
webpage, http://www.aahe.org/. One of their major projects was the
Flashlight Project. This organization knows a lot about evaluating student
performance, including in the areas of emerging instructional technologies
and distance education.

Does anyone have a reference or can point me in the right direction to a
survey or questionaire that measures computer skills, computer attitudes,
computer knowledge, computer anxiety and computer confidence of
college/university health education students in health education courses.

Karen has peaked my interest in technology/computer training, so I did a
search and found this web site https://www.aect.org The Association for
Educational Communications & Technology that has local chapters and many
references online. Anyone a member or know about this group?
