Learning Analytics for Adaptive Systems supporting Self-regulated Social Learning

Opportunities to facilitate learning, in all forms from elementary schools to post-secondary, workplace, and life-long learning and at different levels, on the Internet and with social media are widely recognized today. However, information offered on the Internet and learning activities in social media, even via formal academic courses, are mainly not based on empirically-proven recommendations from learning sciences. Often, learners are left "on their own" to figure out which study tactics best work for them. This is a serious threat given that most learners have weak skills for self-regulated learning, as reported in learning science research. This can have severe effects on their learning success with numerous societal consequences such as high dropout rates and workforce unprepared for career transitions.
