Abstract: Online self-assessments (OSAs) are common tools for university orientation. Usually, OSAs are multiplechoice tests giving prospective students a recommendation on their suitability for the selected study program. However, they lack true “self-assessment”, which is essential for informed decision-making. To better understand users’ requirements of OSAs, we interviewed two experts, evaluated our university’s current computer science OSA (N = 228), and conducted a survey with first-semester students (N = 51). The results highlight the importance of self-reflection and social exchange in study choices. Moreover, users expressed a wish for flexible and personalized content. On this basis, we conceptualized a mobile OSA app including the features that were rated most positively in the pre-studies. The app allows for flexible use by providing micro-content in a clip format. In a first proof-of-concept study (N = 11) the app was perceived as helpful and easy to use. Moreover, users highlight ed the concept’s potential to stimulate self-reflection. (More)
