Tools That Can be Used in Online Assessment

Assessment is an essential part of teaching since it is the tool that enables the teacher to diagnose students' needs and the level of comprehending what they learned. Teachers do not have to ignore assessing their students during their teaching process and that applies to online learning too. Because of the different conditions of online teaching, teachers can not use typical assessing tools. One of the most common online assessing tools is the forms that include subjective and objective questions such as Google Forms and even questionnaires prepared by PollEverywhere. Teachers can also use online games to evaluate students' understanding like the games prepared by Wordwall and Kahoot. The instructor must not forget to implement formative assessments by asking the students different questions during the online sessions as well as assigning them assignments and participation questions as homework.
