# Which assessment platforms are best for online learning & real skill evaluation?

Hey folks! I’m mapping out tools that make it easy to teach online <strong>and</strong> actually measure learning—quizzes, polls, item banks, analytics, the works. If you’re weighing options, the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/assessment"><strong>Assessment</strong></a> category on G2 is a great place to browse definitions, filters (tests/quizzes, real-time responses, pre-made banks), and user sentiment. If you’re building full courses, you might also peek at the LMS categories and Learn Hub guides for context on pairing content delivery with assessments. <p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Below are five well-reviewed products from G2’s <strong>Assessment</strong> category that stand out for online learning and skill checks:</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"><a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/canvas-lms/reviews"><strong>Canvas LMS</strong></a> – A full LMS with robust native assessments (quizzes, rubrics, outcomes), deep LTI integrations (Zoom, plagiarism tools), and analytics that help you spot who’s progressing vs. stuck.
