The paper presents the results of the research in the area of ICT-tools for pedagogical practices. The research was conducted within the scope of the IRNet project. One of the objectives of the project was to select ICT tools and substantiate their advantages and functionality for their use in e-learning. According to the modern approach, the continuous assessment, shaping self-guided and responsible students' activity, plays an important role in e-learning. The efforts of the group, bringing together researchers from the University of Ostrava (Czech Republic) and Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia focused on the analysis of the implementation of continuous formative assessment by the means of ICT. The goal was to systematize the general potentiality and technological profile of ICT tools in formative assessment, on the basis of the formative assessment theory.
