Session 26

Title: Technology support for self regulated learning: Assisting novice college students in large classes

Session Description:

This presentation will summarize several studies evaluating the value of a lecture support system (pre-lecture access to a lecture outline and post-lecture access to an expert summary and an audio recording) and a textbook review system (an adaptive system based on chapter topics interacting with the stored summary of student topic performance) on examination performance in large Introductory Psychology courses.

The format for this session will involve a formal presentation and demonstration. Participants will be encouraged to react to the research findings and discuss applications that do require the specialized software used in conducting the research.
