A “Self Assessment” in Brightspace allows you to create a quiz that students can take to measure their own academic level. As a teacher, you do not have the opportunity to see the result. The sole purpose is for the students to be able to see how much they have learned.
The students receive feedback after each question / answer.
If you are in doubt as to whether this is the right tool to use, you can see the box below "Question types and setup". Here you will find two overview tables that show you which question types you can use in the self assessment tool and how the self assessment tool can be configured.
