Objectives:  During the coronavirus disease-19 pandemic, majority of the institutions have started distance education. Assessments are also being conducted online. Our question was about the interest of students in assessing their classroom learning by an online quiz. The aim of this study was to observe students’ participation pattern in online anonymous formative assessment immediately after synchronous 1-h online class.    Material and Methods:  We designed online quizzes with five questions related to the preceding class. In the last quarter of the 1-h class, we shared the quiz with the students. A total of 20 such classes were conducted. We recorded anonymous data on attendance, participation, time of participation, and obtained marks. The data were expressed in mean, standard deviation (SD), and percentage. Chi-square test,  t -test, and ANOVA were used according to the data.    Results:  Among 100 1 st -year medical students, average attendance in online classes (62.1 ± 13.5) was lower than the face-to-face 1-h lecture class (80.35 ± 13.01,  t -test  P  &lt; 0.001). Average 55.48% (34.45 ± 7.13) of the attendee participated in the online formative assessment. Approximately, students took 4¼ min to answer the online quiz (minimum 45, median 204, maximum 988, mean 255.76, and SD 154.96 sec). The quiz score was high among the students with 46.73% of the quiz participants scoring full marks.    Conclusion:  Nearly half of the students attending online classes opted for an anonymous, optional, and online self-assessment quiz. The online quiz is a quick method of formative assessment requiring only few minutes. Further, research should be conducted to find ways to increase participation among the students.
