Abstract	Online assessment of any type is attractive to educators because it allows large amounts of student data to be gathered and accessed quickly. Indeed, online, summative assessments--generally end-of-course, state-level, and placement exams--are making the annual student testing ritual a meaningful audit instead of what some call an "autopsy" because data reports arrive too late to have any impact on student learning. Yet educators now want meaningful data sooner and more regularly to plan instruction and intervention. That's where online, formative assessments come in. In June of 2005, the Appalachia Educational Laboratory (AEL) at Edvantia, Inc., and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) held a one-day symposium prior to CCSSO's National Conference on Large-Scale Assessment. The purpose of the event was to discuss issues related to standards-based, formative assessment delivered online. The Institute for the Advancement of Emerging Technologies in Education (IAETE) at AEL coordinated the symposium. The large number of attendees, as well as their comments throughout the day, clearly indicate that the topic resonated with states and districts; the results of CCSSO surveys of issues important to its membership also indicate great interest in the topic.
