GetFast.ca - It's a free online assessment summary tool to use with your students.

With a new semester just around the corner think about using this tool to access prior knowledge at the beginning of your course, or use it often during the semester when you introduce new topics, themes or units. Usually assessments are found at the end of chapters, units, or semesters, but web-based assessments can be easily administered during the course to find out if students have met the student learning outcomes, or if a review of the materials is necessary. Course assessments are useful for Instructors to use to guide the direction of their course, allowing instructors to adjust the material to the level of the students and their needs. Once you have acquired the results have a conversation with your students, discuss what they have learned, what they still need to learn, and what you learned from the assessment outcome.

Since FAST is free, jump right in and try it to see if it can improve your teaching & student learning.
