Formative

Formative is an online tool that can be used to provide feedback and for formative testing.

In Formative, you can create quizzes/tests. Students can take the test by using a code that you give them. This code can also be used by students to retrieve the feedback you, as a teacher, provide in the tool. You can add MC questions, open questions and short answer questions, but you can also ask students to write an essay. Apart from that, Formative also provides you with the opportunity to add content to the quiz, making it an ideal tool to structure the writing of an essay online.
