Informal polling is "usually used to gauge understanding in recent topics, or interest in future topics. These might be specific tools used to aggregate responses, or multiple choice questions utilized to collect more nuanced differences" (Crosslin, 2018).

# data[].attributes.body
Standardized tests are "the most common assessments, utilizing problem types such as multiple choice, true/false, matching, and other forms of standardized question formats. The answers are usually the same or similar for all learners, and tend to focus on rote memorization of facts or application of ideas to scenarios" (Crosslin, 2018).

# data[].attributes.body
Written responses "can take many forms, from open ended questions in a standardized tests, to comprehensive exams, to term papers. Learners may be required to remember a large amount of specific information, or to take what they know and apply it to problem-based scenarios" (Crosslin, 2018).

When instructors assign an oral presentation, "learners either need to prepare a speech or other presentation for the instructor and/or other learners, or answer a series of questions correctly" (Crosslin, 2018).

"When courses focus more on skills than information, often instructors will create some type of hands-on demonstration of skills gained" (Crosslin, 2018).

Activities assigned in online courses "can potentially be assessed in different ways, from discussion forums to blog entries to creative artifact creation (video, graphics, sound recordings, etc.) or any other work learners produce" (Crosslin, 2018).

"Group projects are sometimes class activities, and at other times are assessments. These projects usually involve teams working together over a long amount of time to create a complex artifact or presentation" (Crosslin, 2018).

Portfolios/Cumulative/Capstone Projects "are usually a collection of many assignments assembled over the entirety of the course (or multiple courses). These are often evaluated on not only the overall content, but also how they are presented or assembled" (Crosslin, 2018).

Since students would complete this course prior to the beginning of a new school year, I would use NWEA Map testing at the end of the course to determine how much my writing instruction has prepared them for 6th grade Language Arts.

One of my main objectives in this course is for students to improve their writing skills, but as helpful as teacher feedback can be, I would allow students to collaborate on a few writings in Google Docs. Students could work in pairs/small groups to leave feedback on and help their peers to improve their writing. Since many students work asynchronously, working in Google Docs would help them to see comments on and changes to the shared document(s) without having to set a time to meet to collaborate.

I currently use Microsoft OneNote to distribute passages, graphic organizers, assignment packets, etc. to my students. I often describe it as their digital binder. During my online course, my students would add pages to a section dedicated to their CER drafts. This would create a portfolio of their writing. I would be able to view and leave feedback on their writing, and this would also help the students to see their growth.
