Learning with Technology Toolkit: Self-Assessment

Self-Assessment Tools

Are you aware of what is required of you in a course or how your work will be assessed?

Perhaps your final assessment is a digital portfolio or a reflective blog that requires peer review and feedback. For example, you read the syllabus and discover that there is no final exam. Instead, you are asked to reflect on what you have learned in an ePortfolio. You are required to engage in a peer-review process, providing evidence of the feedback you received and the actions you took.

How will you track your progress? What reflective writing tools might you use to demonstrate your learning? To learn more about the reflective writing process at university, watch Reflective Writing.
