Designing e-Assessment in Massive Online Courses

Massive Online Courses (MOC) are challenge to be addressed using ICT enabled learning environments and they contain learning communities in thousands. Learners' expectation in these courses is to obtain certification and it depends on the assessment. To obtain effective results, learning and assessment have to be carried out together but it could create unmanageable workload for facilitators. Facilities available in a learning management system can be used to design the formative assessments which will prepare learners to face summative assessment.
