Technology-Enhanced Self-Regulated Learning: Assessment Support Through an Evaluation Centre

Learning in universities can be characterised as self-regulated learning [1]: students have to set learning goals, apply learning strategies, assess their progress, correct their strategies and redefine goals in cyclic phases. IT-based educational tools enhance lectures and provide numerous opportunities to support students in mastering the demands of self-regulated learning (e.g., by providing quizzes). The data basis of such tools can be utilised in order to support students during the phases of (self-)assessment and correction. Additionally, teachers can benefit from fine-grained analysis of individual lectures and assessments of the student group's conduct in order to improve their lectures. Both, teachers and students directly benefit from structured feedback on individual as well as group performance. However, the information required for beneficiary feedback to students and teachers must be presented in an ordered and well-prepared fashion. Evaluation centres can offer an automated extraction of important information based on the underlying data stored by the IT-based educational tools. In this short position paper we present a prototypical evaluation centre and discuss how it can assist teachers in improving their lectures, while it provides students with required information for correct self-assessment at the same time. The proposed evaluation centre was tested in different settings and preliminary results based on subjective user feedback can be extracted.
