I am trying to find out who out there in the academic community actually has
experience with language assessment via the web.

I would be interested in knowing which of the following approaches to
on-line assessment any of you have applied to the courses you work with or
teach through distance learning and with what results:

1. analytic or atomistic (assessing individual features of language  e.g.,
grammatical endings, lexical items, etc.),

2. high degree of structure in the item and tasks (e.g., multiple-choice)

3. holistic (assessing integrated skills),

4. open (e.g., essays),

5. oral communication on line (e.g., audio and/or video interviews, role
play, etc.),

6.  peer assessment of results,

7.  self-assessment of results,

8.  collaborative responses,

9.  online dialog and debate, role plays,

10.  portfolios,

11.  journals.
