Assessment is a key part of education. For many students, the opportunity to earn marks through assessment is a driving motivator. Electronic assessment allows teachers to conduct a wider variety of assessment, and to do so more efficiently than traditional forms of assessment.
In this chapter, we will look at assessment-related Moodle modules, large and small, and some that are capable of involving students in innovative ways.
An assignment is a significant form of assessment, allowing students to demonstrate the understanding they have developed over a period of learning.
