An Online Mastery Learning Method Based On a Dynamic Formative Evaluation

This paper proposes a novel e-learning model that is 
based on a dynamic formative evaluation. On evaluating the existing 
format of e-learning, conditions regarding repetitive learning to 
achieve mastery, causes issues for learners to lose tension and become 
neglectful of learning. The dynamic formative evaluation proposed is 
able to supplement limitation of the existing approaches. Since a 
repetitive learning method does not provide a perfect feedback, this 
paper puts an emphasis on the dynamic formative evaluation that is 
able to maximize learning achievement. Through the dynamic 
formative evaluation, the instructor is able to refer to the evaluation 
result when making an estimation about the learner. To show the flow 
chart of learning, based on the dynamic formative evaluation, the 
model proves its effectiveness and validity.
