Abstract

In order to improve student learning outcomes, formative assessment plays a vital role in providing students with opportunities to self-test their knowledge prior to summative assessment as well as providing opportunities for feedback before formal assessment. This paper illustrates the implementation of formative assessments, both online and traditional, across two groups (online versus blended learning) of undergraduate students in a first-year property course which is also available as a University wide elective. Quantitative analysis techniques will be used to analyse student perceptions and the statistical relationship between formative and summative assessment will be investigated. This paper provides insights into the usefulness and perception of formative assessment particularly in the online environment. Challenges and recommendations will also be highlighted.
