Module III What role does SRL play in MOOC?

Learning Outcomes

• Watch video tutorials and read educational blogs on the role of SRL in MOOC.
• After the learner completes course readings and texts, the learner will be asked to provide two outside resources that support SRL in MOOC.
• The learner will analyze the role of SRL in MOOC by participating in module reflection questions throughout the course module.
• The learner will construct a journal, a form of assessment, on significant roles SRL plays in MOOC at the end of the module. (Journal may be in the form of paper, vodcast, podcast or collage)

What role does SRL play in MOOC?

The role of self-regulation doesn't just influence a student's learning process, it also influences a student's cognitive ability. A lack of SRL in MOOCs can seriously hinder a student's learning capabilities and overall course performance. SRL is particularly important in a MOOCs because being successful in a MOOC requires effective independent learning. MOOCs require individual learners to be able to self-regulate their learning and determine when and how they engage.

What are you expected to do?

Consume content by reading course texts and viewing course tutorials. Then using the Module III Worksheet identify relevant information in course readings by participating in course reflection questions. This module's reflection questions will help highlight important roles SRL plays in MOOCs.

Part of this module will be to produce two outside sources that support SRL in MOOC and that aligns with your thinking. Use your two resources in your module journal, which can be in the form of paper, vodcast, podcast or collage, as a form of assessment. The purpose of this journal is to list the significant roles SRL plays in MOOCs.
