Abstract

Instructional designers can use evidence-based theories of motivation and self-regulated learning to construct e-learning environments that promote goalsetting and achievement. We have used gStudy, educational software designed according to principles of self-regulated learning, to construct a Goal-Setting Kit. The Goal-Setting Kit incorporates tests, scaffolds, concept maps, and exercises that allow students to express, organize, and monitor their strategies for achieving personal and instructional goals.
