Tools that can be used in online assessment

 Online assessment tools for teachers are a necessary part in the online teaching. Teacher must always evaluate their students on the spot to make sure they attain the needed knowledge from the explained topic or to guide students in the learning process to be more engaged, so it is essential to use different assessment tools during the online learning. Google form is one of the best tools used in the learning process for both the teachers and the students. It is so simple to create a quiz with different types of questions such as multiple choice, short answer, labeling, multiple choice grid, and drawing a picture...and making an answer key with feedback.  Teacher can view graphs and summary of frequently missed answers or wrong answers and highlight them.  In addition, google makes it easier for students to answer questions by clicking a drop-down, typing a fast text answer, or posting a short YouTube video. Teachers can also share grades with students. It is really an effective tools for both teachers and students.

Mentimeter is another useful assessment tool. It comes pre-loaded with education templates for the classroom like listening skills assessment, icebreakers, surveys, and poll.
Poll Everywhere gets a snapshot of where students are struggling by creating questions as word clouds, open students responses, or multiple-choice options. We can collect data , formative evaluation and diagnostic evaluation.
word wall is another application we can use it during the online sessions where we can let all students share at the same time in a specific time. We can control and monitor the activity.
Jamboard  is a useful app that teacher can use it to ask a question and take different answers from different  students at the same time. In this way all students are sharing and we save time. The students can ask about any unclear thing.
