The article deals with the problem of using modern digital technologies for formative assessment. The main objectives of the assessment, such as "assessment for learning", "assessment as learning" and "assessment of learning", are analyzed, and it is stated that the first two objectives are realized precisely by means of formative assessment. The evaluation strategies that the teacher can use to collect data on student achievements is analyzed. The objectives of formative assessment before the beginning, during the process of work and at the end of the lesson are determined; as well as methods of formative assessment. The structure of the formative assessment process consisting of six steps is analyzed. In today's conditions, for the implementation of formative assessment, it is expedient to involve digital technologies. Therefore, the article proposes a classification of digital resources that can be used for formative assessment at different stages of the occupation and for different purposes, examples are given and a description of possible use of resources of each specified category. In particular, such digital resources as quizzes, surveys, online tests, virtual boards, multiservices for creating interactive tasks with the possibility of self-checking their correctness, word-of-mouth word services, mindmaps, services for creating infographics and visualization, keeping diaries are considered. Different ways of using virtual boards for formative assessment are offered, and examples are given of their application before the beginning of the class, in the process of work and at the end of the lesson for reflection. The research leading to these results received, within the framework of the Modernization of Pedagogical Higher Education by Innovative Teaching Instruments.
