Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
In online learning environments, diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments are essential for monitoring progress, enhancing engagement, and ensuring achievement of learning objectives. Diagnostic assessment prepares the foundation, formative assessment supports continuous improvement, and summative assessment evaluates overall performance. When strategically applied through digital tools and feedback mechanisms, these assessments create an effective, interactive, and learner-centered online education experience.
I allowed my students during yesterdays evolution to perform formative assessments on each other and think it went well for some students to hear both positive and negative feedback from other students
From this module I learned the importance of using diagnostic, formative and summative assessment together to support student' learning throughout the entire instructional process.
I intend to apply this knowledge by intentionally incorporating all three types of assessment into my teaching process
I like the analogy that the writer used, formative assessment is like building a house, and summative is when the house is complete.
Comment on Angel Martinez's- Much of this information seems straight forward, however there are people that would stiil not feel confuden
This was helpful to take a closer look at different assessment methods.
The Blooms Revised Taxonomy was new to me and I plan to use it in the future. Pulls together a lot of what I was doing to assess students, in ways that will also stimulate me to think more creatively about how to assess my students.
Pre and post tests can be your best friend as it offers students the ability to see what they learned.
If students are given diagnostic pre-assessments, it helps the instructor obtains information about their students. It gives the instructor prior knowledge, skills, and/or misconceptions before the course begins or before a learning activity.
La evaluación diagnóstica y la evaluación formativa como procesos de evaluación contína. Ambas ofrecen retroalimentación del proceso de aprendizaje. La evaluación sumativa responde a la valoración del resultado del aprendizaje.
Initial assessments are always great to understand where the student may struggle or understand. Assessments throughout the course, allows the instructor to give better input on a particular topic.
Diagnostics are pre existing knowledge while formative assessment is a current understanding of material being taught.
Learned more about different types of assessments and the best times to apply them
I learned the dynamics of online learning and how to assess the students with great communication.
I think it is important that instructors must assess and evaluate students' work on a regular basis to determine if a growth in learning is being achieved. Feedback is essential.

Bloom's Taxonomy keeps cropping up throughout these modules.
Assessment is process-focused and ongoing whereas evaluation is product-focused. Summative assessments can be used as an evaluation of a student's understanding at the conclusion of a course.
La evaluación formativa debe ser continua
