A summative assessment is used to determine whether or not students have met a learning objective and to show student growth in learning. There are various methods for demonstrating understanding of content using online tools. Students can create online presentations demonstrating mastery of a topic or create a website or blog to share the information they have learned about specific content. Online portfolios are another creative method for students to exhibit pieces of work showing they have conquered the learning objectives.
Using online assessments provides students opportunities to demonstrate learning through multiple techniques. Providing students with a rubric when assignment an online assessment allows students to prepare appropriately for the task, since they will know upfront how the assignment will be analyzed. Many online assessment programs provide teachers with individual student data and class comparison abilities. Teachers should analyze the data from each assessment to find trends in student learning and to identify student needs. This immediate data allows for teachers to plan more effectively, differentiate instruction, and reflect on teaching and learning in the classroom.
Online exam tools are also useful tools for showing comprehension and mastery. Programs like Mastery Connect allow teachers to select multiple choice, true-false, matching, and completion items connected to the Common Core Standards. Student scores and an item analysis are immediately available for review. Online summative assessments provide instructors with concrete data about learners’ achievement of learning objectives, and students can receive immediate feedback on activities (Sewell, 2010).
