Description

Metacognition is broadly defined as awareness and control of one’s learning and is increasingly recognized as an important component of the learning process. For many institutions looking to create and support active learning environments with the aid of technology, the question becomes, in what ways can learning technologies like the learning management system (LMS) be leveraged to promote self-regulation and metacognitive skill development in students? What effect do these interventions have on student learning behaviors and academic outcomes? And how can positive interventions like these be positioned across an institution? To dive deeper into this topic, explore these questions and more, join Drs. Crystal Fulton, James Matthews, and Emma O’Neill from the University College Dublin in Dublin, Ireland in this free webinar.

Key topics include:

The efficacy of VLE-based learning interventions in higher education
Developing self-regulation and metacognitive skills, including:
- Planning
- Self-monitoring
- Self-evaluation
The use of assessment and feedback processes to develop these metacognitive skills
Producing of a proof of concept model for potential wider uptake throughout an institution
