INTRODUCTION

THE WORLD WIDE WEB has opened a whole new venue for teaching and learning.

Online learning is here to stay! It is replacing many traditional classroom settings and is

changing the ways in which we teach. Students will be able to learn what they want, when they
want it, where they want to, how much they want, and, most importantly, will be able to assess
what they have learned. The onus is now on the student. The student must be the active learnerself-disciplined, motivated, and learning through discovery.

Although educators at all levels have embraced using online technology as a teaching

tool, the issue of assessment of student learning in an online course has not been thoroughly
addressed. Although online instruction may be more efficient, convenient, and flexible for both
students and teachers, it must be stressed that this technology should be used to facilitate
teaching and promote learning.

As teachers reflect upon instructional methodologies and include online learning as an

instructional delivery mechanism, they must also reflect on their assessment strategies. The

opportunity for online education brings about new considerations in assessment. Online
assessment is more than just testing and evaluation of students. By keeping in mind some basic
tenets of assessment, online educators can adapt their assessment activities to provide useful
feedback, accountability, and opportunities to demonstrate quality.

Online assessment should be viewed as a system for evaluating student academic

achievement. The assessment process should be viewed as a system because there are many
components to measure. Just because it may be difficult to measure the amount of learning does
not mean that learning has not taken place.

ONLINE ASSESMENT

Online assessment is the process used to measure certain aspects of

information for a set purpose where the assessment is delivered via a computer connected to a
network. Most often the assessment is some type of educational test. Different types of online

assessments contain elements of one or more of the following components, depending on the
assessment's purpose: formative, diagnostic, or summative. Instant and detailed feedback, as well

as flexibility of location and time, are just two of the many benefits associated with online
assessments. There are many resources available that provide online assessments, some free of
charge and others that charge fees or require a membership.
Purpose of assessments.

Assessments are a vital part of determining student achievement. They are used to determine the
knowledge gained by students and to determine if adjustments need to be made to either the
teaching or learning process.

Online assessment is used primarily to measure cognitive abilities, demonstrating what

has been learned after a particular educational event has occurred, such as the end of an
instructional unit or chapter. When assessing practical abilities or to demonstrate learning that

has occurred over a longer period of time an online portfolio (or ePortfolio) is often used. The
first element that must be prepared when teaching an online course is assessment. Assessment is
used to determine if learning is happening, to what extent and if changes need to be made.

Independent Work
Independent work is work that a students prepares to assist the instructor in determining

their learning progress. Some examples are: exercises, papers, portfolios, and exams (multiple

choice, true false, short answer, fill in the blank, open ended/essay or matching). To truly
evaluate, an instructor must use multiple methods.

Most students will not complete assignments unless there is an assessment (i.e.

motivation). It is the instructors role to catalyze student motivation. Appropriate feedback is the
key to assessment, whether or not the assessment is graded.

Group Work

Students are often asked to work in groups. With this brings on new assessment

strategies. Students can be evaluated using a collaborative learning model in which the learning
is driven by the students and/or a cooperative learning model where tasks are assigned and the
instructor is involved in decisions.

Uses of online assessments

Pre-Testing - Prior to the teaching of a lesson or concept, a student can complete an

online pretest to determine their level of knowledge. This form of assessment helps determine a
baseline so that when a summative assessment or post-test is given, quantitative evidence is
provided showing that learning has occurred.

Types of online assessments

Formative Assessment

Formative assessment is used to provide feedback during the learning process. In online
assessment situations, objective questions are posed, and feedback is provided to the student
either during or immediately after the assessment.
Summative Assessment -

Summative assessments provide a quantitative grade and are often given at the end of a unit or

lesson to determine that the learning objectives have been met.

Practice Testing

With the ever-increasing use of high-stakes testing in the educational arena, online practice tests

are used to give students an edge. Students can take these types of assessments multiple times to
familiarize themselves with the content and format of the assessment.

Surveys - Online surveys may be used by educators to collect data and feedback on student
attitudes, perceptions or other types of information that might help improve the instruction.
Evaluations

This type of survey allows facilitators to collect data and feedback on any type of situation where
the course or experience needs justification or improvement.
Performance Testing

The user shows what they know and what they can do. This type of testing is used to show
technological proficiency, reading comprehension, math skills, etc. This assessment is also used
to identify gaps in student learning.

New technologies, such as the Web, digital video, sound, animations, and interactivity,

are providing tools that can make assessment design and implementation more efficient, timely,
and sophisticated.

CONCLUSION

Assessment is most effective when it reflects an understanding of learning as

multidimensional, integrated, and revealed in performance over time. Many different online
components and assessment criteria and tools are needed to accurately and thoroughly assess

student learning. A variety of assessment tools can be used to determine if, after completing

the student task in the online learning component, the student has met the pre- established
learning outcome criteria. Finally, assessment should be ongoing and carried out through each

chapter throughout the semester, to allow students to determine their own learning outcomes
through selftesting. An effective online educator must find ways to demonstrate that student

learning has occurred. One type of assessment alone will not be enough to measure all of the
objectives and outcomes desired. For online assessment to be effective, instructors must

expand the assessment measures used throughout the instructional delivery of the online
course. If education is moving towards outcome-based assessment, online education is an

excellent vehicle for measurement of student learning outcomes and the application of
knowledge. The assessment techniques used in traditional courses can usually be modified to
reflect the nature and pedagogy of online courses. Online has expanded the menu of
assessment techniques, many of which are more modern in nature.
