The LASSI for Learning Online is designed to be used as:

• A screening measure to help students develop greater awareness of their learning and studying strengths and weaknesses in online settings;
• A diagnostic measure to help identify areas in which students could benefit most from educational interventions designed to help them be successful in online settings;
• A basis for planning individual prescriptions for both remediation and enrichment;
• A means for instructors to use to examine individual students’ scores and class trends to help them decide where to place the greatest emphasis for assignments, projects, individual logs, journals, portfolios and other class activities that could help students become more strategic learners in those parts of the course that use online instructional materials;
• A pre-post achievement measure for students participating in programs or courses focusing on learning strategies and study skills in online settings;
• An evaluation tool to assess the degree of success of intervention courses or programs; and
• An advising / counseling tool for college orientation programs, advisors, developmental education programs, learning assistance programs, and learning centers.
