Technology-enhanced/ digital assessment tools

Technology-enhanced/ digital assessment tools. The very terms digital or technology-enhanced assessment tools suggest that these tools are any kind of aids that enable and facilitate assessment of both student learning and learning outcomes. Digital assessment tools can also be used in order to facilitate active student learning, promote collaborative working, and support peer learning, feedback and assessment practices. Finally, a note should be made that digital assessment tools can also provide teachers with alternative assessment methods and enable monitoring and tracking of an individual student’s learning progress at a given time. (McVey, 2016). Some of the common examples include the following: quizzes and surveys, rubrics, online tests, reflective journals, e-portfolios, forums, etc.
