Abstract

This paper presents the comparison study of different multiple-choice web-based formative assessment, namely peer driven assessment module of the web-based assessment and test analysis system (PDA-WATA), one of the most recent web-based assessment system, web-based quiz-game-like formative assessment system, named GAM-WATA, and Formative Assessment Module of WATA system FAM-WATA with traditionaly normal web-based assessment and paper and pencil assessment. The major purpose of this study is to highlight the different strategies used in these system and effectiveness of each system in e-learning environment. In overall, the features and different strategies of systems is analyzed. It is found that PDA-WATA adopts more self-regulated learning strategies than the other systems in facilitating learners use of self-regulatory learning behavoir in e-learning environment. More studies are required based on different self regulatory strategies used to improving learning effectiveness, attracting learners take participation of web-based formative assessment.
