Supporting Self-Regulated Learning in Personalised Learning Envrionments

The advantage of Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) is to empower a learner in taking control over his/her own learning process. The shift from just being controlled by a teacher towards taking control by oneself in a selfregulated learning (SRL) way can be basically initialised by providing learning environments that can be personalised and individually adapted or created instead of using 'one size fits all' learning environments. A lot of research and development on this subject has been done in the EU-Project ROLE (role-project.eu). In this context extensive experiments have been conducted with widget-based PLEs. Scenarios have been created, implemented, tested and evaluated in real world settings. The contribution of this paper is the presentation of a) three widget-based PLE scenarios, b) evaluation results on comparing the value of the presented PLE scenarios and c) evaluation results on comparing students and teachers point of views against the presented PLE scenarios including SRL aspects.
