from Part II - Assessment and Feedback in Its Different Manifestations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 January 2023
Summative and formative electronic assessment can be used in the foreign-language classroom to provide appropriate feedback to learners.

Mostly, electronic assessment and feedback is used for summative determination of the achieved learning level; the higher education sector predominates. In school-based instruction, electronic assessment and feedback occur less frequently.

Electronic assessment can be used for more than just summative feedback.
