Instructors have to make important decisions regarding the type of assessment that will finally be implemented when producing online learning materials, since this has a noticeable effect in terms of the methodology, the approach, and the attitude of all the actors involved (Goertler, 2011). This study investigates students? perception of tutor assessment and self-assessment in an online upper-intermediate level English course (described in Martinez-Saez, 2015) and testing tool (described in Sevilla Pavon, 2013). After the implementation of these learning resources through the online authoring tool and content manager InGenio4, 95 students participated in the study conducted for the validation stages. The statistical analysis of the data gathered by means of questionnaires showed that the students highly appreciated the freedom to learn at their own pace offered by these two modalities which can contribute to autonomous progress and learning.
