This document discusses a seminar on using information and communication technology (ICT) for assessment. It begins with an introduction stating that ICT is used not only for teaching but also for assessing student achievement and reporting results. The next sections define assessment, describe different types of assessment including formative, summative, diagnostic, authentic and performance. The final section discusses the role of ICT in assessment, including computer-aided assessment using tools like optical mark readers; and computer-based assessment using e-learning modules and standalone online tests taken on devices.

4. CONCEPT OF ASSESSMENT
BEFORE GOING INTO DETAILS OF HOW ICT CAN BE
USED AS AN ASSESSMENT TOOL
THE TERM ASSESSMENT IN EDUCATION MEANS ‘THE
PROCEDURE THAT IS USED TO COLLECT
INFORMATION ABOUT KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND
SKILLS OF A LEARNER
THE WORD ASSESSMENT DERIVED FROM LATIN
WORD ‘ASSIDERE’ MEANING TO SIT DOWN OR

AURAL, WRITTEN AND PERFORMANCE BASED

7. TYPES OF ASSESSMENT
Assessment can be classified in to various types or approaches based on
the purpose for which it is designed. It can be classified as follows:
Formative Assessment:
Formative assessment provides feedback and information during the
instructional process, while learning is taking place, and while learning is
occurring.
Summative Assessment:
Summative assessment takes place after the learning has been
completed and provides information and feedback that sums up the
teaching and learning process.

8. Diagnostic Assessment
Diagnostic assessment can help you identify your students’
current knowledge of a subject, their skill sets and capabilities,
and to clarify misconceptions before teaching takes place.
Knowing students’ strengths and weaknesses can help you
better plan what to teach and how to teach it.
Authentic Assessment:
The term authentic assessment describes the multiple forms of
assessment that reflect student learning, achievement,
motivation, and attitudes on instructionally relevant classroom
activities. It Emphasizes what students know,

9. Performance Assessment
Performance assessment is one which requires students to
demonstrate that they have mastered specific skills and
competencies by performing or producing something.

10. ROLE OF ICT IN ASSESSMENT
Technology has a vital role to play in effective and efficient assessment
of learning.
Modern technology offers educators a variety of new tools that can be
used in the classroom.
Technology can help teachers assess their students' learning as well as
their performance in the classroom
Use of ICT in assessment involves the use of digital devices to assist in
the construction, delivery, storage or reporting of student assessment
tasks, responses, grades or feedback

11. There are mainly two major forms of ICT based assessment. These are:
COMPUTER AIDED ASSESSMENT (CAA)
It refers to the use of Computer to manage or support the assessment
process and evaluate assignments
CAA is mostly used for scoring multiple-choice questions and questions
with short-answer responses using optical mark reader (OMR)

12. COMPUTER BASED ASSESSMENT (CBA)
IT refers the use of digital tools for conducting assessment-related
activity. Computer based assessment can be done using laptops,
tablets, and even smart phones.
Common ways of CBA are:
Assessment of E learning modules:
online assessments are embedded within larger e-learning modules so
that students’ learning activities could take place on the computer. For
example, a student may complete a full e-learning module with a final
test at the end

13. Standalone online assessment : In this, an instructor uses an online
assessment creator to develop quizzes and tests, which students take
using an online platform.
For example, a teacher after completion of his/her teaching may conduct
a short quiz that students take on their smart phones.
