Abstract

Trainings on self-regulated learning (SRL) have been shown to be effective both in improving self-regulation skills and in objective measures of performance. However, human trainers can only reach few people at the same time. Web-based trainings (WBT) could improve efficiency as they can be distributed to unlimited numbers of participants.
We developed a WBT on SRL and tested it with 211 participants in a randomized control evaluation study. Results showed that students highly appreciated the WBT and showed significant improvements in both subjective measures like SRL questionnaires and objective measures like tests of declarative knowledge and time invested in learning.
