In addition to its drawbacks, the e-school experience has prompted an important restructuring of how the entire teaching and assessment system should be reorganised to support learning. We focused our research on the formative – educational value of using complementary assessment methods in online schools as successful practices, both for improving the general assessment process and for achieving the central goal of education – learning.
The advantages of using these methods, proven through the implementation of the online questionnaire as a research method, have led us to expand our findings on how assessment can support learning, with the conviction that technology has entered our lives and brought alternatives in finding the most effective ways to keep education and learning at high levels in online schools as well. By interviewing 97 teachers who have carried out online teaching activities, we can conclude that it is beneficial to use complementary assessment methods in virtual classrooms as well, through a harmonious combination with traditional ones.
