Introduction

The Compass Plus assignment submission addon provides teachers with the option of setting up assignments to use Compass Plus frameworks and allow students to submit self-assessment competencies as an assignment submission.


The purpose of Compass Plus is to allow students to self-assess themselves on soft-skill competencies, such as life skills or study skills, and also to instantly receive back encouraging and growth-inspiring feedback, specifically for their current competency progress.
