Keys to a Successful Online Learning Process

1. Relationships between Assessment & Evaluation

1.1. Discussion Boards while showing skills can also be used to motivate learners through sharing real life experiences.

1.2. Students levels of knowledge can be shown through both forms of Assessment and forms of Evaluation.

1.3. Quizes can be used to test the competency of students and as a form of analysis for the teacher at the same time.
