Personal, learning and thinking skills:

• Managing self,
• Managing relationships with others and
• Managing own learning, performance and work

It is these skills that will enable learners to enter work and lifelong learning as confident and capable individuals.

With this in mind, do you want to...

1. engage your learners in collaborative working and/or peer assessment?
2. track your learners and also include extended-response questions and essays?

Then Google Docs may well have the answer for you.

Remember: Formative assessment might be by a teacher (or peer) or the learner, providing feedback on a learner's work; not necessarily used for grading purposes and referred to as "assessment for learning"

I have added two eBooks to our eBook Library which will help you to...

• ...engage learners in both collaborative working and/or peer assessment...

• ...or produce formative assessment questionnaires like the one on the next page that allows you to track learner responses...

(eXe, as I'm sure you are aware, does have the SCORM Quiz iDevice (which allows tracking for those learning providers with a VLE) but many learning providers do not yet have that facility; some teachers also like to track learners, without using a VLE, for planning purposes)
