 | In addition to a summative assessment or evaluation there are also evaluations that take place during the course. | |
|
| What do you call this other kind of assessment? | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Formative assessment or evaluation is feedback that is delivered during a course or activity. Course designers, teachers, or students may use this feedback to make changes or improvements. | |
|
| So when the instructor tells me I need to do something a different way in the course that is formative assessment? | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yes. Plus formative assessment helps the instructor know if he or she should change the pace or methods of the class. | |
|
| So if I understand you e-learning developers need to create periodic assessments during a lesson and at least one assessment activity at the end. | |
