About the Self-Assessment Tool

Similar to the Quizzes tool, the Self-Assessment tool allows you to create assessment items such as multiple-choice, true/false, arithmetic, fill-in-the-blank, multi-select, matching, ordering, and long and short answers. The Self-Assessment tool does not keep a record of the student's responses.

Instructors can create Self-Assessments that students can take multiple times. The system automatically scores multiple choice, true/false, multiple answer, fill in the blank, matching, and ordering type questions and can display instructor-created feedback, explanations, hints and links to relevant course material. Instructors can create a database of questions that the system will randomize to create a unique Self-Assessment for each student. Regular expressions can be used to create unique variables and answers for every question.
