Self-regulated learning is an ongoing process rather than a single snapshot in time. Naturally, the field of learning analytics, focusing on interactions and learning trajectories, offers exciting opportunities for analyzing and supporting self-regulated learning. This special section highlights the current state of research in the intersect of self-regulated learning and learning analytics, bridging communities, disciplines, and schools of thoughts. In this editorial, we introduce the papers and identify themes and challenges in understanding and support self-regulated learning in interactive learning environments.

Reflection is critical for adolescents’ problem solving and learning in game-based learning environments (GBLEs). Yet challenges exist in the literature because most studies lack a theoretical perspective and clear operational definition to inform how and when reflection should be scaffolded during game-based learning. In this paper, we address these issues by studying the quantity and quality of 120 adolescents’ written reflections and their relation to their learning and problem solving with C...

This study investigates factors that stimulate better academic performance for female students in learning quantitative topics, such as those involving mathematical-related tasks. We explore the differences in self-regulated learning (e.g., sources of motivation and execution of learning strategies), learning behaviors, and learning achievement of female students in quantitative courses. A combination of primary survey data and secondary data from the course-specific Learning Management System (...
Abstract There has been a growing interest in higher education to explore how learning analytics (LA) could be used to support student engagement. Providing actionable feedback with LA for students is an emerging area of research. Previous studies have commonly focused on course-level aspects of supporting engagement with LA, but students’ perspectives have received limited attention. This study analyzed pre-service teachers’ needs and expectations for LA to support student engagement on the aca...
Self-directed learning (SDL) ability, its usefulness in higher education and life-long learning have been highlighted in previous literature. However, there has been much less understanding of the ...

The importance of learning design in education is widely acknowledged in the literature. Should learners make effective use of opportunities provided in a learning design, especially in online environments, previous studies have shown that they need to have strong skills for self-regulated learning (SRL). The literature, which reports the use of learning analytics (LA), shows that SRL skills are best exhibited in choices of learning tactics that are reflective of metacognitive control and monito...
“Study with me” videos contain footage of people studying for hours, in which social components like conversations or informational content like instructions are absent. Recently, they became increasingly popular on video-sharing platforms. This paper provides the first broad look into what “study with me” videos are and how people use them. We analyzed 30 “study with me” videos and conducted 12 interviews with their viewers to understand their motivation and viewing practices. We identified a t...

Abstract Learning with online video is pervasive in higher education. Recent research has explored the importance of student engagement when learning with video in online and blended courses. However, little is known about students’ goals and intents when engaging with video. Furthermore, there is limited empirical evidence on the impact of learning context on engagement with video, which limits our understanding of how students learn from video. To address this gap, we identify a set of engagem...

Discussion fora of instructional videos contain previously-discussed questions and answers. These video comments can resolve many points of confusion for learners. However, finding relevant content in a separated discussion forum is challenging and disruptive to learning flow. This paper introduces Adjacent Display of Relevant Discussion (ADRD): it displays threaded comments in a panel adjacent to the video and dynamically updates the content of the panel based on the time of the video. In a bet...
Gone are the days when learning was confined inside four walls With advent of technology, education sector has also advanced and a lot of educational platforms have been introduced for online learning also known as digital or e-learning Though this concept is more famous in West, but during these times of Covid these platforms have reached and covered the gaps which conventional way of teaching couldn’t and people have come to know about the bright side of digital learning as well Digital learni...
Research has emphasized that self-regulated learning (SRL) is critically important for learning. However, students have different capabilities of regulating their learning processes and individual needs. To help students improve their SRL capabilities, we need to identify students’ current behaviors. Specifically, we applied instructional design to create visible and meaningful markers of student learning at different points in time in LMS logs. We adopted knowledge engineering to develop a fram...
