Process diaries
What is it: For e-learning teachers to have access to students’ learning progression, they need an instrument to communicate this process. The use of process diaries to support student-focused methods could be one solution to this challenge. These diaries provide a digital place where teachers can respond to students’ work processes, and give feedback to encourage, challenge and guide them. This method of formative assessment could be one way to bridge the distance between teaching and learning in e-learning courses. [Source]. Watch a video on process diaries.
