Online Assessment: Methods, Techniques, and Tools

Technological progress and the global pandemic situation have changed the paradigm of distance assessment. Practices related to the online assessment of students, described internationally, were used as models for assessing school performance during the pandemic. The challenge was that these tools were to be properly adapted to the various levels of general education and had to be applied carefully and appropriately. The teachers’ mission was not only to replace hand-written or typed assessment forms by electronic ones, but also to adapt learning and assessment to the conditions in which they are carried out, to identify the assessment methods, techniques, and tools that would be appropriate for the envisaged assessment objectives, and to use technology in order to help students become autonomous in learning.
