Technology-mediated support for self-regulated learning in open responsive learning environments

Abstract

This paper presents technology-mediated strategies and a technical infrastructure design for supporting self-regulated learning in open responsive learning environments which are individually compiled by the learners themselves. A self-regulated learning process model has been defined to connect the self-regulated learning approach with concrete learning activities performed to create and use own learning environments. Technology-mediated strategies have been elaborated to support all the activities and phases of the self-regulated learning process model. Guidance and personalization is supported through recommendation of cognitive and meta-cognitive learning activities and associated resources. Furthermore, automatic monitoring of learners' behavior and its feedback is used to stimulate and guide self-reflection.
