Abstract
The move towards more flexible modes of tertiary education is requiringstudents to be able to regulate their own study habits. This is particularly true ofon-line learning, where there may be less direct instructional support than intraditional face-to-face modes,. However, to assume that students already havethese skills is presumptuous. This paper describes a model for self-regulation andsuggests how self-regulated learning can be enhanced through the integration of aproposed on-line learning environment. The main instructional approach isscaffolding, where support is provided by reflection andpeer feedback, andthrough the use of tools for annotation and portfolio generation.
