Assessment
Various types of assessments are used to evaluate learners’ understanding, skills, and performance. These can be categorized based on their timing within the learning process:Â
- Formative Assessment: These are assessments that take place during the learning process. For example, a facilitator can ask questions or give assignments to monitor the progress of the learners in class.Â
- Summative Assessment: This is the more easily recognized form of assessment. It measures what has been learned at the end of a learning program. An end of course multiple-choice quiz might be an example.Â
- Diagnostic Assessment: This type of assessment helps designers and facilitators better understand what the learner knows before the learning event. These are better known as pre-tests. Â
There are many other types of assessment including self-assessment and peer assessment.Â
