Introduction:
Internet learning, particularly the assessment of online learning skills, is receiving increasing attention throughout the education community at every level from grade-school classrooms to national forums and universities. Online reading comprehension can be thought of as a process involving several aspects of cognition in sequence, quite probably differentiating itself from the processes required for reading comprehension of printed text. That question can be thought of in terms of whether the online reading comprehension process of is driven by singular or multiple factors. Offline performance-based testing is a viable measure for the comprehension processes, including major sub-processes. Having created and implemented the Online Reading Comprehension Assessment (ORCA) to 1386 students in two states, each process can be examined on its own and in relation to other processes. As such, the purpose of this examination is to look at NAEP-based assessment in context with the ORCA Project is to develop a suitable standard offline scientific-reading testing standards. This is examined across public and private schools, as well as across states.
