When assessing the use of technology assessment tools in an online environment, the desired learning outcome is the most important thing to consider. Depending on what the instructor want's the student to be able to do, different assessment tools might lend themselves better to that outcome. Next, it's important to consider the likelihood of the tool's success. Depending on the teacher, student, access to technology, and structure of the classroom, some assessment tools might seem ideal, but not realistic. Finally, it's important to consider student's prior knowledge regarding technology. For example, when I taught high school, I required students to use Prezi to develop presentations. Now, working for a college, with adults from all generations, I cannot require Prezi because it might take some students longer to learn the program than it should take to actually design the presentation.
