• Pre-course general technical proficiencies assessment should be used to address user-friendship issues from the start
• Post-course general technical proficiencies assessment should be used to measure effectiveness of intervening methods and to plan future technical features that address user-friendship issues

• Post-course subject proficiency assessment should be used to evaluate relevance of course and course elements to desired learning outcomes
