This document discusses assessment for distance education. It defines assessment as the process of obtaining information about learner progress and achievement. There are two main types of assessment: formative assessments which are designed to motivate learners and help them understand their progress, and summative assessments which are used as end-of-course tests to provide an overall report. Examples of assessment types include matching, multiple choice, objective, true/false, and long answer questions. The document also discusses assignments and the role of tutors in distance education to promote reflective thinking and support isolated learners.
