Self Assessment is a formative assessment tool that provides learners with a series of questions and gives immediate feedback. Once a Self Assessment is created, instructors will add questions for students to answer.
Note: Self Assessments cannot be evaluated or tracked like other activities in D2L. Answers to a Self Assessment are not visible, to student or instructor, once the assessment has been completed.
