As one of many educators who are responsible for instruction for more than one subject, you are always looking for a balance in learning, teaching, and assessment. Furthermore, with high stake testing driving what instruction should be, it's nice to find technology that engages students and can even assist with assessment. As part of the National Educational Technology Standards--specifically NETS-T2, part b. (Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning and assessing their own progress.), teachers need to partner technology with learning and student-monitored assessment. An interesting website that is worth investigating if you are required to teach life sciences is cellsalive.com. This website has wonderful interactive illustrations and photographs as well as assessment which students may take and "assess their progress."
In addition, to this new instructional finding for life sciences, the wikispace still seems like a great instructional tool for any subject for students to be able to monitor their progress. The search is continuing for some type of rubric website for students to use as part of the wikispace.
