Dear colleagues
The following PhD studentship is available at the Knowledge Media Institute of the Open University:
Empowering Self-Regulated Learning within Personal Learning Environments
3 year fully-funded PhD (Oct. 2012-Sept.2015)
Stipend: £40,770 (£13,590/year)
Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a term that describes an individual's ability to learn how to learn. In other words, each of us can develop a wide-ranging skill set that enables us to learn in a number of different ways. In some university settings the term SRL is more commonly described as "independent learning" or "auto-didactic learning".
This project is about supporting SRL through learning tools and services, such as recommenders of learning resources. These tools and services will enable learners to define their learning goals, build their online Personal Learning Environment (PLE) and use it actively in order to reach their learning goals and monitor their own progress.
Deadline for applications: 7th June 2012.
Regards,
