Self-Assessments is a formative assessment tool that enables you to provide learners with a series of questions and give immediate feedback to their responses. 

You can use self-assessments as a way of enabling learners to provide feedback on how well they think they are doing with course material. Answering self-assessment questions can illuminate learners to their own skills and development.

Self-assessments are a separate tool in Brightspace which you can create self-checking questions with full feedback. The benefit of using these are for students to practice or test knowledge in a safe, no-risk environment as none of the completion data is stored.

Please follow the link for a guide on creating self-assessments in Brightspace.

Creator+ is a new add-on package for Brightspace to help tutors create more interactive and aesthetic content within Brightspace containing three features:

• Interactive Elements
• Practice Elements (for creating self-assessments)
• Capture App (coming soon)

It doesn’t replace any features of Brightspace or change the way that Brightspace currently works, instead, it adds more functionality which will promote its use as a learning environment, rather than just as a document repository.

The practice elements within Creator+ allow you to add one or more quiz-type question directly into the content area of Brightspace. So for example, you can provide some information or a resource and then add a quick question to test knowledge. You can add a true or false question or multiple choice, but there are also useful sorting and sequencing exercises.
