When teachers assess student learning and performance acquired


due to online assignments, it concentrates his /her main goal on
purely formative purposes, since often there is no final mark on the
paper and no summative grade in the grade book.
Rather, assessment serves as practice for students, just like a
meaningful homework assignment does.
This formative assessment the most valuable one -supports
learning through an immediate online peers or teachers feedback, or
even better a self- reflection posted as text-/media-based blog
comment.

RUBRICS :
a means of communicating expectations for an
assignment, providing focused feedback on works
in progress, and grading final products ;
a document that articulates the expectations for
an assignment by listing the criteria, or what counts,
and describing levels of quality from excellent to
poor.
Rubrics can teach as well as evaluate.

When used as part of a formative, student-centered


approach to assessment, rubrics have the potential to
help students develop understanding and skill, as well
as make dependable judgments about the quality of
their own work.
Students should be able to use rubrics in many of the
same ways that teachers use themto clarify the
standards for a quality performance, and to guide
ongoing feedback about progress toward those
standards.
