The results of this study have advantages and disadvantages to the principle of assessment and quality of assessment in the digital age. The benefits are direct feedback, improving autonomy, institution, and self-regulation of learners, collaborative learning, authenticity, broader measurement, fast and flexible response, improving efficiency and reducing teacher performance, integrating formative assessment, and validity and reliability of assessment, while the shortcomings inconsistent, infrastructure barriers, and fraud. There are five principles of assessment of the digital age, namely authentic assessment, accessible and inclusive assessment, appropriately automated assessment, continuous assessment, and security assessment. Although there are advantages and disadvantages of the assessment principle and quality non-formal education of digital age assessment, but there are five recommendations of digital assessment applications: Nearpod, Spelling Test, GoClass App, Guru Clicker, etc. ClassTalk applications.
