Launch a survey
Using the OPAL survey (available via the OPAL task pool), you can carry out anonymous surveys within your course. This is a simple way to gather feedback on your teaching.
Assign tasks
The OPAL course element Task makes it possible to assign one or more files with tasks specifically to learners or have them select them. Once selected, users can upload and submit solution files. The performance of each participant can be assessed separately and personal feedback can be given on their work.***
Provide self-assessment tests and task submissions
The Question bank, which can be accessed via the "Teaching and learning" tab on OPAL, supports the entire e-assessment workflow, from task and test creation to the provision and evaluation of test and participant data. Tests can be used diagnostically (grading), formatively (accompanying) or summatively (evaluating).**** ONYX is the test system behind this feature. Learn here how to create your own tests in ONYX.
