Abstract

Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been considered a key competence for online continuing education (OCE). Although recent research has recognized the potential of learning analytics to support SRL in higher education, research focusing on learning analytics to support SRL in OCE is scarce. This experimental study (N = 76) evaluated the effectiveness of a learning analytics intervention designed to support SRL in OCE through personalized learning goals and recommendations of weekly learning time commitments. The intervention was positively evaluated by learners in terms of perceived learning support and positively affected time management and learner satisfaction. Our study provides empirical evidence for learning analytics interventions to support SRL in OCE. Future research should focus on analyses to identify moderators.
