There are two types of assessment: (1) summative assessment;
and (2) formative assessment. Summative assessment is used
to grade students; summative assessment is generally carried out
towards the end of a course. Formative assessment is used to aid
learning; it is not used for grading and is normally carried out in
the early stages of a course.

A common form of formative assessment is diagnostic
assessment. Diagnostic assessment measures a student's current
knowledge and skills for the purpose of identifying a suitable
program of learning. Self-assessment is a form of diagnostic
assessment which involves students assessing themselves.

Hi Cheryl,

I think the site is lovely.  I agree with you that's it's
always good to introduce a wide range of approaches to get team
members out of a narrow scope when it comes to bringing ideas to
the table!

Were you thinking about the subject matter or the style when you
posted the link Cheryl?

It's certainly beautifully presented (and mighty
expensive).  Just wondering in which sense you intended us to
view the site.
