Descripción
Sumario:The lack of self-regulation is one of the main reasons why students find it difficult to complete a MOOC. However, existing learning platforms do not have tools that support student self-regulation strategies and only few have been developed for MOOCs. This study presents NoteMyProgress, a tool designed to support self-regulation in MOOCs. We present the beta version of the tool as “proof of concept” in order to assess its usability and adoption with experts and learners in a MOOC. The results indicate that usability is well evaluated by experts, and students consider the included features to be useful in managing their time and organizing their learning process.
