The Value of Student Self-Assessment
Thursday, Nov 6 @ noon
Student self-assessment is an often-overlooked secret weapon for online instructors. It does more than just help students develop critical analysis skills; research has shown it can actually increase their interest and motivation (Sharma, et al., 2016), leading to stronger learning and better performance. Plus, it gives you a fantastic opportunity to boost your Regular and Substantive Interaction (RSI) efforts!
