Tracking and visualizing time management for Self-Regulated Learners

Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) has become one of the most suitable approaches to learning and teaching for the development of competent and autonomous lifelong learners. A main issue is to support learners setting up their own learning goals, managing their own resources, including spaces and time, and monitoring and reflecting about their performance. Time management plays a main role in this approach. During the last years many web tools and mobile apps have been developed to support students managing their agendas, recording the time they devote to different activities and visualizing it in attractive graphics. In general these systems provide a view of the activities performed by the student in a particular system and the time devoted to each activity. In this paper we propose a contribution on this subject focused on two issues: self-regulation and interoperability. We are working towards the recording of online and offline student activities not just taking into account the functionalities or resources used, but also the goals, strategies, tasks or rewards considered from a SRL point of view. From the interoperability point of view, our goal is to support the tracking from different systems using a specific SRL xAPI profile.
