When Purdue University faculty asked for assistance in composing feedback messages to students, Information Technology at Purdue (ITaP) developed PassNote, a feedback tool that integrates good practice into the process of providing formative assessments. PassNote gives faculty customizable feedback prompts (snippets) and lets them connect students with information and links to services such as tutoring,Supplemental Instruction, library resources, technology tools, and workshops. PassNote "message starters" are often incomplete, allowing instructors to include course-specific information such as office hours and departmental resources.

This special issue of Perspectives in Education offers a collection of articles by self-study researchers who are located across diverse disciplines in higher education institutions in South Africa, Canada and the United States of America (USA). The collection begins with contributions from teacher educators (Weber, Van Laren and Wood), moves on to work done in the domains of Drama (Meskin and Van der Walt) and Graphic Design (Scott) and, finally, to trans-disciplinary self-study (Knowles, Meyiwa et al. and Samaras et al.).
