Online assessment

Abstract

Evaluation is one of the essential factors in the learning process. It means that students’ achievements, competencies, and skills are contrasted with the objectives of a discipline. Online evaluation (e-Learning) has some particularities since technological tools are used. It is, therefore, essential to specify the strategies to be used, depending on the academic purpose. This essay arises from experiences as a facilitator of online courses through the MOODLE platform of the general online course Basic Computing to students of the Regional Multidisciplinary Faculty, Estelí, UNAN-Managua. The following essay briefly highlights basic concepts related to online learning assessment, assessment functions, core features, online evaluation tools, as well as an experience using MOODLE experience.
