Feedback form is now closed.
Formative assessment (evaluation of student progress with the aim of helping the student remedy lack of learning outcomes) will be described, and contrasted with summative assessment (evaluation of student progress to give a grade.)
Summative assessment has already been (mostly) computerized with multiple choice questions given with bubble sheets or online saving a large amount of time and effort for the instructor. (Essay grading will be briefly mentioned.)

With course sizes of 200+ students common in STEM, especially for "gateway" courses, instructor time is not available to provide individual formative assistance. Our computerized individualized formative assessment methodology can provide the assistance needed for students who encounter difficulties in achieving required learning outcomes even if they have the required ability. Our software, which we developed, is available as Open Source. It is currently stand-alone, but could be integrated into the Learning Management System.
