ZenStudy: Empowering Students with Self-Regulated Learning

The project team will develop a novel prototype of a multi-media platform with components including learning modules with motivating, tangible, and practical advice for success in college based; a content library covering topics based on the science of learning such as self-regulated learning, time management, and effective learning strategies; and a dashboard for students to set personalized goals and schedules and evaluate progress. At the end of Phase I, the team will carry out a pilot study with a total of 40 undergraduate students and will examine if the prototype functions as intended; if students are engaged and motivated while watching, reading, and interacting with content; and if students perceive an improvement in their self-regulation and study skills.
