Exploring Self-Regulation Based Virtual Learning Environments Using Diary

摘要

Background: Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) such as Coursera, Moodle and edX have become increasingly popular. However, achieving self-regulated learning (SRL) remains an ongoing challenge in current VLEs. Diaries are instruments through which students can reflect on their learning experiences and the use of a diary is important for gathering various kinds of information. Also, diaries help to obtain valid data on daily learning experiences and progress. This paper explores the use of a diary to enhance student self-regulation while learning in a VLE.
