6 Tools for Online Assessment

Most of our assessments at IU are completed using the built-in tools in our learning management system, Canvas. However, we are not limited to the assignments, discussions, and quizzes available in Canvas. A full list of all external assessment tools available at IU can be found at this link.

If you aren’t sure of what tool would be most appropriate to achieve your assessment goals, you can visit the Technology Tool Finder site to browse the tools available by type. A descriptive list of the assessment tools available, including use cases for each tool, can be found by visiting the Discover Learning Tools website. This site includes a description of each tool, key features for teaching and learning, real-life examples of how faculty at IU are leveraging these tools in their courses, and resources for getting started with these tools in your own course.
