  Innovation in assessment is no more a choice in a tech-savvy instant age. The
purpose of this study was to get more insight into the implementation of
formative assessment through the e-learning tool called Black Board Learning
System in our University. The proposal is to implement a series of weekly or
fortnightly tests on the BB. These would have options to provide sufficient
feedback as a follow up to the attempt of students. Responses from
questionnaires were used to discover the important concerns in the perceptions
of students on the proposed concept of continuous assessment and the BB Online
test implementation. The results indicate that students support the idea mainly
because they find the disintegration into small topic assessments as useful,
coupled with the availability of immediate teacher feedback. What we intend is
a culture of success, backed by a belief that all pupils can achieve the same.
