context_page_description: 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, 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.
context_section_description: 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 part of the process x?". Because all answers but one name correct steps the performer obtains a maximum of correct information - an essential design principal to transfer knowledge by the assessment itself.
  For each question a "negative feedback" (in case the selected answer is not correct) additionally refers to the source of knowledge - in order to enforce the impression that the required information for a correct answer is available effortless.
  For each question a "positive feedback" confirms and amplifies the gained knowledge.
