It identifies formative assessment as used early in instruction to monitor student learning and provide feedback to improve teaching. Summative assessment measures how well learning outcomes are achieved at the end of instruction. Other assessment types discussed include diagnostic pre-assessment, confirmative assessment to check ongoing success, norm-referenced assessment comparing to averages, and criterion-referenced assessment against predetermined standards. The document also lists some popular online assessment tools for teachers.

- 2. There are different types of online assessment. Online assessment is used in different working areas and all of them have their own goal to achieve.The working area that I will highlight is the educational working area. Educational assessment is the systematic process of documenting and using empirical data on the knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs. By taking the assessment, teachers try to improve student learning.
- 3. Assessment can be focused on the individual learner or all individuals together, like the whole class, an institution or specific program. Formative assessment will give you an overview of your students in the beginning of your instruction. It gives you the opportunity to still have the chance to improve your instruction. Summative will give you the outcome of the whole instruction.
- 4. When you start creating instruction (lesson material) for your students, you will have to evaluate your instruction.The teacher set goals to achieve at the end of each chapter or/and at the end of instruction. Assessment determines whether or not the goals of education are being met. Continuous questions that come to your mind when taking assessment are: “Are we teaching what we are supposed to be teaching?” “Are we reaching the goals we set for the instruction?” “Is there a way to improve your instruction, and promote better learning?”These questions don’t have to be asked at a certain stage of developing your instruction.You have to ask these questions throughout the whole instruction and even after you have implemented it. Assessment affects decisions on different domains: grades, advancement, instructional needs, placement and curriculum. First, you need to identify which assessment type you need.There are three types: needs driven assessment, goal oriented assessment and performance assessment.

- 6. Pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment Before creating the instruction, it’s necessary to know for what kind of students you’re creating the instruction.Your goal is to get to know your student’s strengths, weaknesses and the skills and knowledge the posses before taking the instruction. Based on the data you’ve collected, you can create your instruction.
- 7. Formative assessment Formative assessment is used in the first attempt of developing instruction.The goal is to monitor student learning to provide feedback. It helps identifying the first gaps in your instruction. Based on this feedback you’ll know what to focus on for further expansion for your instruction.
- 8. Summative assessment Summative assessment is aimed at assessing the extent to which the most important outcomes at the end of the instruction have been reached. But it measures more: the effectiveness of learning, reactions on the instruction and the benefits on a long-term base. The long-term benefits can be determined by following students who attend your course, or test.You are able to see whether and how they use the learned knowledge, skills and attitudes.
- 9. Confirmative assessment When your instruction has been implemented in your classroom, it’s still necessary to take assessment.Your goal with confirmative assessments is to find out if the instruction is still a success after a year, for example, and if the way you're teaching is still on point.You could say that a confirmative assessment is an extensive form of a summative assessment.
- 10. Norm-referenced assessment This compares a student’s performance against an average norm.This could be the average national norm for the subject History, for example. Other example is when the teacher compares the average grade of his or her students against the average grade of the entire school.
- 11. Criterion-referenced assessment It measures student’s performances against a fixed set of predetermined criteria or learning standards. It checks what students are expected to know and be able to do at a specific stage of their education. Criterion- referenced tests are used to evaluate a specific body of knowledge or skill set, it’s a test to evaluate the curriculum taught in a course.
- 12. Ipsative assessment It measures the performance of a student against previous performances from that student.With this method you’re trying to improve yourself by comparing previous results.You’re not comparing yourself against other students, which may be not so good for your self-confidence.
