Summary

Classical grading only provides feedback by a single person, usually the teacher, and typically the quality of information conveyed is rather low. Therefore, a blended evaluation approach can be followed, combining the view of different agents (self, peers, teacher) and using various assessment methods (Comber, 2014, p. 293).

Example for Technological Support

A learning environment, preferably an ePortfolio space, is the ideal place to collect the formative assessment of various assessors – together with the learning artefacts and reflections which are assessed/evaluated.
