Self-assessment is an effective way of providing timely feedback to distance education students and has the added benefit of involving students in making judgments about their learning. It is mostly used as formative assessment to cultivate reflection on one’s achievements or identify areas of improvement. (Boud & Falchikov, 1989)

Self-assessment is an under utilised form of assessment that fosters reflection and develops a positive sense of self-efficacy. Self-assessment plays an important role by encouraging students to view their work as an ongoing source of learning. This assists them to develop as independent and autonomous learners (Challis, 2005).

• helps clarify what good performance is (goals, criteria, expected standards)

• facilitates the development of self-assessment (reflection) in learning

• delivers high quality information to students about their learning

• encourages teacher and peer dialogue around learning• encourages positive motivational beliefs and self-

esteem• provides information to teachers that can be used to help

shape teaching• provides opportunities to close the gap between

current and desired performance

Macfarlane-Dick (2006) have identified seven principles of good practice for formative assessment based on their model of self-regulated learning and feedback.

A key recommendation of the JISC-funded OER Impact Study (2011):

“Funding work that makes OER produced by universities in particular easier to find will have a substantial positive impact on reuse”. (White & Manton, 2011)

UNESCO Paris Declaration at the World Open Educational Resources (OER) Congress:

“Improve both cost-efficiency and quality of teaching and learning outcomes through greater use of OER” (UNESCO, 2012)
