Online Assessment Tools

 

What is an Online Assessment? 

An online assessment is an evaluation that a teacher makes in order to test his students' learning, characteristics or knowledge. This evaluation is held over the internet by using the following tools:

1- Google Forms:

It is the most easy tool to use among teachers because it is simple and quick to create a quiz. When using this tool, the teacher has the ability to make automatically graded quizzes, create multiple choice questions or short- answer ones.The students are also able to insert draws, graphics or images.We can say that Google Forms is also easy and simple for students.

2- Mentimeter: 

 

This tool is used to create and make live quizzes and tests. It is beneficial for breaking the ice and engaging students. Mentimeter includes also formative assessments, post lesson surveys, and polls. 

3- Poll Everywhere:

Using this tool, the teacher will be able to get an idea of where students are struggling by creating questions as word clouds, open students responses, or with multiple choice options. Teachers will get real feedback in their questions slide since responses are anonymous. In addition this will lead to engaging and integrating students. 

4- Google Classroom:

This application is, like its name refers to, very similar to the classroom. It's the place where you can find everything related to your online classes (recorded sessions, assignments, comments, sharing opinions/ images...) But since we are talking about the online assessment tools, Google Classroom is also an assessment tool since we can send students assignments and tests with or without due dates.

 

5- Word Wall: 

This application can be used to digitize and gamify the information and knowledge given by the teacher in order to assess the students through instructional games.
