Could be the last paper I publish in 2024, but it’s a fun one. Self regulation and learning (SRL) is super important for kids to help become independent learners, so can we co-design to understand self regulation better? In our new journal article in Education and Information Technologies, we found that children through co-design can clearly articulate designs and support in education technology for SRL. Yeah seems like a no brainer, so why aren’t edtech designers building self regulation tools together with kids more? 🤷♀️🤷🤷🏽♂️ Chimezie O.
