Abstract

Many institutions adopt an online accelerated learning model in which intensive classes are offered during the course of a normal semester to help students completing classes through accelerated online instructions. Current research has focused on comparing different instructional lengths. Mixed findings have been reported. Accelerated instructions are not necessarily superior or inferior to traditional 16-week instructions. Research should focus on what and how to prepare students to succeed in accelerated online courses. This study examines whether self-regulated learning may serve as predictors of positive accelerated learning experiences. It concludes five SRL skills can predict online accelerated learning experiences and suggested that educators should identify and prepare students with relevant SRL skills prior to the accelerated instructions to warrant positive learning.
