Student Projects is a student-led assessment activity. The student defines what the project or assessment is, sets their own due date, and builds a rubric to define how they will assess the project. While creating the rubric, students can also pick from the learning objectives/standards from the curriculum, and use the Student Project to demonstrate their mastery on those learning objectives/standards.
Then, the instructor(s) in that classroom can view and edit the Student Project, if required, before publishing it for the learner to attempt. Once the learner submit the attempt, instructors can then grade it.
The term 'Student Projects' is a whitelabelled term and can vary from site to site as per clients' requirement. For example, the terms 'Projects' or 'Student Assessments' can be configured on your site instead of the term 'Student Projects'.
