Touchpoints are tasks which either:
- Ask students to reflect on some aspect of their learning process in the program, to self-rate on competencies set out by the program, and provide evidence of achieving those competencies, OR
- Perform a task and provide documentation of performing that task.
Once you create a set of touchpoints, they can be added to multiple cohorts. The default is for all students to have the same dates for every touchpoint, but you can assign custom touchpoint due dates to individual students in a cohort if needed.
