Teachers often use various methods to assess students’ performance. Formative assessments, which are often informal in nature, help teachers to recognize the progress of their students and adjust instruction. Summative assessments, often formal in nature, help teachers determine whether learning objectives have been achieved and whether the learner is ready to move on. Conducting assessments in online environments presents unique challenges, but teachers can leverage available technologies and strategies to conduct various forms and types of assessments that are effective in online environments.
