Hello and welcome to our step-by-step guide for setting Self Review elements into your module on Teachfloor.
📝 What Is the Self Review Element?
(see the image below)
The Self Review element allows learners to assess their own work based on custom questions. It’s ideal for encouraging personal reflection, growth, and deeper learning — especially in project-based, cohort-based, or asynchronous learning environments.
➕ How to Add a Self Review to Your Course
Navigate to your course’s Curriculum tab.
Click on ➕ Add Element from the left-hand menu.
Scroll to the Assessment section.
Click on Self Review.

A new Self Review module will be added to your curriculum.
⚙️ Basic Element Settings
Like all content elements in Teachfloor, the SCORM element includes General, Requirements, Visibility, and Metadata settings.
👉 To avoid repetition, we’ve detailed those shared configurations in a separate article:
If you’re new to setting up elements, we recommend reviewing that article first. Then return here for specific SCORM guidance.
🧩 Self Review-Specific Settings (Unique to This Element)
Once you’ve configured the basic settings, scroll down to find the Self Review-specific options.
1. 🔁 Source
(see the image below)
You can optionally link the Self Review to a learner's previous submission in the course. This enables learners to reflect on a specific activity or assignment they completed earlier.
Select a submission element (e.g., file upload or assignment) as the source.
This will be displayed side-by-side during the review.
ℹ️ This setting is optional — you can create standalone Self Reviews too.
2. 🧠 Self Review Questions
(see the image below)
Click on Edit Questions to set up the prompts for self-assessment.
You’ll start with two default questions, which you can edit, delete, or expand upon.
(see the image below)
🛠 Question Types You Can Use:
Type | Description |
Open Questions | Learners write long-form text responses |
Numeric Rating | Learners rate on a numerical scale |
Text Scale | Choose from options like "Strongly Agree" to "Strongly Disagree" |
Yes/No | Binary response questions |
Information Section | Add non-question content to guide learners before a question |
💡 Combine different types to guide learners in deep, structured reflection.
3. ⏰ Deadline
(see the image below)
Set a due date by which learners must complete the self-review. Once the deadline passes, the element will be locked for further edits by the learner.
4. 🔔 Reminders
(see the image below)
Send automated reminder notifications to learners who haven't completed the self-review. You can schedule up to three reminders leading up to the deadline.
👀 Learner Experience
When learners access the Self Review:
They'll click Start Now to open the module.
If you linked a previous submission, it will appear on the left side.
The self-review questions will appear on the right side.
Learners fill out the questions and submit when ready.
The entire process is seamless, responsive, and mobile-friendly.
