Studia: Una aplicació web de e-learning basada en l'aprenentatge autoregulat

Abstract

[en] Education as we know it today has not undergone significant changes compared to what it was like 100 years ago. However, in recent decades, due to recent technological innovation, it has had to adapt to meet the new needs of users. Nevertheless, the model used by teachers has not changed, and a traditional scheme is still applied where the subjects of the course are the most important, and the teacher is not too concerned about whether the student develops other cognitive, metacognitive, and emotional abilities linked to self-regulated learning. This concept is not a generic or general term but a rather sophisticated construct that has been established in the field of educational research, with the main objective being to develop skills that enable students to become independent and efficient learners throughout their lives. To achieve this, students must set learning goals, plan and organize their time, use effective learning strategies, monitor their progress, regulate their motivation, and evaluate their own learning. Studia was born from the idea of wanting to implement this self-regulated learning to university students in a simple way, attempting to improve the current Moodle system and innovate the educational system being taught. Therefore, in this document, I will explain the development of a web application in collaboration with the Faculty of Education, based on the study found in the article "How to Embed SRL in Online Learning Settings? Design Through Learning Analytics and Personalized Learning Design in Moodle" [19] and the project "E-Learning Platform for Self-regulated Learning" [22] carried out by Elena Cano García, which has been present throughout the development of this project. To develop this innovative application, I have used modern technologies in high demand in the market. I have used Django to implement a REST API on the back-end, React for the front-end, and finally, Tailwind as the CSS framework, you can find the code on this github repository https://github.com/Topiksit0/Studia.
