Evaluation drives instruction. Formative assessment is so important to guiding students down the right path. This module provided excellent examples of ways to use formative assessment online. I think it is very important to use these in any class, but in an online environment it is essential so you have a true picture of the online learner. Carefully planning summative assessments is important as well. Your standards should drive your assessment. The feedback that the teachers provide should be thoughtful and clear guided by data. I enjoyed practicing giving feedback and reading fellow classmates. I think goal setting and self-evaluation is also important. It is important to teach our students these skills, but it is equally important that we teachers reflect. I enjoyed reading the other participants blogs and learned from them. It is nice to see different perspectives, see how they approach assignments, and checkout the cool Web 2.0 tools they are using.
