FAQs
Can students complete self-reflection and self-assessment if I didn’t choose it when I first created the due work?
Yes, you can modify the due work from the course outline to add the self-reflection and self-assessment feature. Students can then re-submit to the due work, as long as the late date for the submission has not passed and as long as you have allowed multiple submissions for the due work.
Can students complete self-reflection and self-assessment at a separate time from their original submission? For instance, after I have published my feedback.
Yes, as long as the late date for the submission has not passed, and as long as you are allowing multiple submissions to the due work. We recommend keeping the due date as the date the original submission is due, so that students and parents can see accurate due dates in the system.
To complete the self-reflection and self-assessment separately, students can just leave it blank during the first submission. They will then resubmit at a later date to fill in the self-reflection and self-assessment.
Can I create a separate due work just for the self-reflection and self-assessment?
Yes, you could create a separate due work, as long as it is clear that it is for self-reflection and self-assessment and you allow online submissions. We recommend the students use the “I’ve submitted my work online” tick box so they don’t need to create a submission for the second due work.
Can I use self-reflection and self-assessment as part of a conversation between the student and teacher about the development of the work?
Yes, as long as you allow multiple submissions and the late date has not passed, the student and teacher can continue to submit and provide feedback respectively. All published submissions, self-reflection and self-assessment, and published teacher feedback is recorded in the due work’s submission history. This is available to teachers, students, and parents.
