Learners come to their courses with varying levels of experience, skills, and understanding. Student self-assessment involves students in evaluating their own work and learning progress. Formative self-assessment enables students to thoughtfully reflect on the quality of their work-in-progress and their learning, and determine next steps. Through self-assessment, students can:

* Identify their own skill gaps, where their knowledge is weak
* See where to focus their attention in learning
* Set realistic goals
* Revise their work
* Track their own progress
* If online, decide when to move to the next level of the course

This process helps students stay involved and motivated and encourages self-reflection and responsibility for their learning.

This workshop, the tenth in our #LEX Advanced series, builds on the skills you learned in the [[LearnEverywhereXULA|#LearnEverywhereXULA]] course, and will explain why self-assessments are effective and will show you how you can use the Self-Assessment tool in Brightspace to provide feedback that motivates students to self-reflect in a formative format.
