Assessment of student learning is an integral part of instruction. It should include both ongoing formative assessment as well as summative assessment at the conclusion of a unit. In each of these self-paced lessons, teachers have a range of formative assessment options: short-answer text boxes, multiple-choice questions, a vocabulary matching interactive activity, a content-based interactive activity, and classroom discussions.

At the end of the lessons, teachers can evaluate what the student has learned and can apply to new situations. This summative assessment addresses whether students have achieved the goals of the lessons. It is also useful to ask students to self-assess their performance when they have completed the lesson to improve their ability to self-regulate their learning and set goals for future tasks.
