 Formative Assessment Blended Learning 

Formative assessments are on-going assessments, reviews, and
observations
in a classroom. Teachers use formative assessment
to improve instructional methods and student feedback throughout the
teaching and learning process
. For example, if a teacher observes that
some students do not grasp a concept, she or he can design a review
activity or use a different instructional strategy. Likewise, students can
monitor their progress with periodic quizzes and performance tasks. The results of formative assessments are used to modify and validate instruction.


Examples:

The meaning of “blended learning” has changed over time; only definitions from 2006 and later are to be considered current. Consequently, a suggested composite definition is:

“Blended learning” designates the range of possibilities presented by combining Internet and digital media with established classroom forms that require the physical copresence of teacher and students.
