What is the difference between formative and summative assessments?
Put simply, formative assessments are done as students are learning. Summative assessment are at the end (like a test).
Formative assessments are essential to provide feedback and show progress towards learning objectives. In an online or blended course, these assessments can quickly provide instructors and students instant feedback more quickly than in a face-to-face course.
In a brick and mortar classroom effective teachers can informally assess students' progress through reading body language, eye contact, observing the amount of time students spend on assignments, and various forms of discourse.
