This session introduces students to digital assessment tools such as Google Forms, Socrative, Plickers, and Mentimeter. It explores how these tools support both formative and summative assessment through features like auto-grading, branching logic, and interactive rubrics. Students also learn to design quizzes, track progress, and use real-time feedback tools such as polls and exit tickets to enhance engagement and learning.
In groups, students review the Pedagogy and Assessment Guide from the Maldives National Curriculum, focusing on its key ideas about effective teaching, learning, and assessment. They summarise the main points using either a written summary or an infographic that highlights important principles and strategies.
Students watch short videos on “Digital Feedback Strategies” and “Interactive Rubrics.” Afterwards, they post examples of effective ways to give digital feedback that enhance student motivation and learning, and respond to at least two peers’ posts in the forum.
Students select a grade level, topic, and learning outcome from the Maldives National Curriculum and design a suitable assessment plan. They identify the type of assessment (diagnostic, formative, or summative), choose an appropriate digital tool (e.g., Google Forms, Socrative, or Mentimeter), and justify their choices by explaining how the tool supports learning and how feedback will be provided to students.
