Abstract

This chapter explores how technologies may enhance SRL in online learning environments. This chapter first gives an overview of self-regulated learning theory and discusses how SRL may differ in online and face-to-face contexts. It then explores how educational and communication technologies can be used to help students develop SRL, either prior to or outside of course instruction or as technology embedded within online learning environments and used during learning. Ready-made online tools such as blogs, podcasts, social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.), and wikis are considered, as is the potential of learning analytics to enhance SRL. Lastly, this chapter examines some of the challenges of the field of SRL and the use of educational technologies.
