The term assessment in education refers to the wide range of methods or tools used by educators to evaluate, measure, and document students' academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or educational needs.
You teach in the twenty-first century, which means you plan, share, and learn using the internet and digital tools. Hence, whether for blended learning, a flipped classroom, eLearning, better communicating learning progress to parents, or students tracking their own mastery, online assessments could be a boon to your teaching. The following are some tools:
