D2L (the company that owns Brightspace) has announced an end-of-life for the Self Assessments tool. Self Assessments is a formative assessment tool that enables instructors to provide learners with a series of questions and immediate feedback for responses.
The Self Assessment tool is a legacy tool with a limited set of features and functionalities. D2L has determined that the Self Assessments tool has a very low usage rate and has announced an end-of-life for the tool. The Self Assessments tool will no longer be available after May 2027. You can continue using it until then, but we recommend that you begin migrating your self assessments to Quizzes before that date.
The Quizzes tool has similar functionality to the Self Assessments tool. Instructors can set up a Quiz without a link to the Grade Book and not show any point values when learners take the Quiz. Refer to this Self Assessments vs. Quizzes blog post for a comparison between the Self Assessments tool and the Quizzes tool.
Follow this link for more information on the impact and transition plan for Self Assessments.
