21st century learning design: Course 5 - self-regulation

Description

Self-regulation occurs when students consciously organize, monitor, evaluate and ultimately take control of their own learning. Educators can design learning activities that assist learners in building and developing their self-regulations skills. 21CLD: Self-Regulation introduces you to the idea of self-regulation and the dimensions of working on long-term projects, students planning their own work and providing opportunities to revise work based on feedback.
