Researcher Laura Greenstein sums up a professional consensus on formative assessment, which is rooted in three significant concepts:

Formative assessment is focused on students.
Formative assessment is instructionally informative.
Formative assessment is based on outcomes. Frequent opportunities for teachers to identify student progress and provide feedback are at the heart of formative assessment. Formative assessments are used to capture snapshots of students' knowledge or skill at particular moments. There are many ways that teachers generate these snapshots of how their students are doing to track their progress.

Some aspects of effective formative assessment strategies include:

Use questions as assessments and as feedback that moves learning forward.
Involve students in thinking about their learning.
Plan to assess learning during and between lessons (short-cycle formative assessment).
Provide immediate feedback.
Look for patterns in student work and plan future instruction based on the results.

Contextual targeting is a very effective method for targeting customers. It permits advertisers to display relevant ads on the website’s content.
It is all based on the user search, they see the ads of what they have searched for in the past. Also, it ensures that the ad content matches the page content and contextually relevant advertisements can lead the user to the right place.
Thus, creating a win-win situation. This also complements the overall video experience. Here, the advertisements get selected automatically by a system based on the identity and personality of the user.
Placement targeting in simple terms means that an advertiser selects a specific website where he wants his/her ad to appear. For his ad campaign, he can select his targeted sites where the maximum no. of his/her target market resides. For example – If I am a shoe seller and I want to increase my market reach, then I will try to get ad space on a good shoe review website. This will increase the trust of the customers on my brand and product and will ultimately lead to sales.

Big data:Big data refers to the large, diverse sets of information that grow at ever-increasing rates. It encompasses the volume of information, the velocity or speed at which it is created and collected, and the variety or scope of the data points being covered (known as the "three v's" of big data).

Big data is a great quantity of diverse information that arrives in increasing volumes and with ever-higher velocity.
Big data can be structured (often numeric, easily formatted and stored) or unstructured (more free-form, less quantifiable).
Nearly every department in a company can utilize findings from big data analysis, but handling its clutter and noise can pose problems.
Big data can be collected from publicly shared comments on social networks and websites, voluntarily gathered from personal electronics and apps, through questionnaires, product purchases, and electronic check-ins.
Big data is most often stored in computer databases and is analyzed using software specifically designed to handle large, complex data sets.
How Big Data Works
Big data can be categorized as unstructured or structured. Structured data consists of information already managed by the organization in databases and spreadsheets; it is frequently numeric in nature. Unstructured data is information that is unorganized and does not fall into a predetermined model or format. It includes data gathered from social media sources, which help institutions gather information on customer needs.






 






Big data can be collected from publicly shared comments on social networks and websites, voluntarily gathered from personal electronics and apps, through questionnaires, product purchases, and electronic check-ins. The presence of sensors and other inputs in smart devices allows for data to be gathered across a broad spectrum of situations and circumstances.

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory.
