Formative is a web based assessment tool that allows students to use any internet connected device to type, draw, or submit images to demonstrate their understanding.
Set-up is simple and intuitive. They could be used as a warm-up, exit ticket, quiz, test, poll, worksheet, homework assignment, and much more. To create a Formative, teachers click on the add buttons and choose the question type. Question types include multiple choice, multiple selection, short answer, essay, drawing, and true or false. They can also add images, text, drawings, videos, and embedded content to the activity. You can even upload an existing PDF file and add places for students to respond on the document. Points can be assigned to each question.
The teacher creates the activity and students work on the Formative independently at their own pace. Students join using a code or a link. Teachers can also set-up and assign Formatives to a class. Formatives can easily be shared with colleagues using a clone code. There is currently no searchable database of premade examples. Some examples are available in a sortable Google Sheet Resources spreadsheet.
The teacher can monitor student work as they respond to the questions. Responses are saved automatically and can be accessed at any time on their account. Data can be exported as a CSV or Google Sheet file, but you only get 4 downloads a month with the free version.
