Digital-Based Formative Assessments in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

Formative assessment is a planned procedure in which students' progress toward mastering learning targets is measured and educators' instruction and content are adjusted as a result of the assessment results. Sound feedback in real classroom situations requires provision of real-time feedback that is adaptive to individual students' needs while simultaneously providing feedback to all students. Thanks to technological advancements, it is now possible to provide quick and personalized feedback to individual students based on their performance in real time. Higher education institutions are increasingly employing such devices in the classroom to provide mass feedback to students. Using information and communication technology to supplement formative assessment can make it even more effective while also reducing the teacher's workload.
