Abstract: Self-assessment and reflection techniques are now common in many online college courses, whether it be assessment of how well a particular learning activity was performed or reflection on one’s progress throughout the course. In this paper, we provide some initial research about the effectiveness of these techniques. We also discuss the use and effectiveness of rubrics. We then provide three examples where we have incorporated self-assessment and reflection into an ePortfolio environment. These include two examples with students and one as part of a workshop for faculty and instructional designers.
