How do I embed self-assessments into student Portfolios?

Meghan.C.174

I am an instructional coach in Ontario, Canada. We are just starting to use the Portfolio feature in secondary schools in our board. We want to use portfolios so that we can track student progress and provide better formative assessment and feedback. Is there a way for students to respond to self-assessment questions (Likert scales, ratings, etc.) when they upload evidence to their portfolio instead of 'general thoughts'.

Hi Meghan,

Unfortunately at this point the only options available to learners to add reflections when submitting evidence are to upload an audio file or add a written reflection.

The suggestion to have additional options such as responding to self-assessment questions is a good one and you should consider submitting it into the Product Idea Exchange for review. The Product Idea Exchange can be accessed from he following link https://community.desire2learn.com/d2l/common/dialogs/quickLink/quickLink.d2l?ou=1796&type=lti&rcode=D2LLC-8469&srcou=1796

Hope that helps!
