📑 8 Quick Checks for Understanding

Jay McTighe provides a list of eight formative assessment techniques that can be used for quick pulse checks:

• Ask students to display a designated hand signal to indicate
• Present students with a few binary-choice statements
• Have students create a visual or symbolic representation
• Present students with a common misconception or a frequent procedural error
• Have students regularly summarize what they are learning
• Ask students to find or create new and novel examples to illustrate a newly learned concept
• Ask students to teach a new concept or skill to someone else
• Invite students to develop an analogy or metaphor to illustrate a newly learned concept or skill

I feel the right technique often depends on the context and situation, online included. For example, I remember using misconceptions in mathematics and  response systems for exit tickets.
