Abstract
A crucial part of education is knowledge assessment. In the distant setting it seems even more important. A knowledge assessment provides a lot of important feedbacks, among others, students’ acquired knowledge. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers and students online for a few semesters. Quite a few knowledge assessments were implemented online during that period. They provided an extensive collection of recurring practices. Within the research we collected and categorized them into an assessment pattern catalog for distant education. We also validated and rated the catalog using empirical research with a help of practitioners. In this paper, we present the catalog and its definition process, emphasizing the top-rated patterns in each category. However, practice and experience show that some patterns could also be used in a classroom setting. This is why we also investigated the classroom pattern appropriateness. In this paper we present the top-rated patterns in each category that are, according to our survey participants, suitable for classroom use. Since our lives are getting back to normal and the learning process is moving back to the classroom, this paper demonstrates that most patterns within the catalog, although formed for distant education, could also be applied in a classroom knowledge assessment.
