Self-assessments give students the opportunity to consciously reflect on their strengths and weaknesses. Also for the teachers, the collected anonymous results of the self-assessment provide valuable additional information which can be integrated into the lesson/course. This gives the teacher a clearer picture of the students’ overall learning progress.

Use multiple choice questions and make sure that only one answer can be selected (“Multiple Choice” disabled). Important: make sure that the “Show results immediately” setting is deactivated so that students do not influence each other.

Benefits

• Students reflect on the material presented.
• Teachers receive an assessment of the learning status of their students.

Show answers:

• immediately: if all students should be able to see the answers of others immediately
• after stopping: The answers will be visible to the students if you stop the question.
• never: the answers are only visible for you, never for your students

Multiple answers: activate that option if you want your students can ask more than one question
