An analysis of technological resources to encourage self-regulated learning behaviour in virtual learning environments in the last decade

Virtual learning environments have become increasingly intelligent and supplied with individualised resources for a more engaging and effective learning process. In particular, technologies that not only provide support but also encourage self-regulated learning are desirable, as this competence has numerous benefits. Thus, this work presents a systematic literature review to outline an overview of such technologies, considering works published between 2011 and 2020. This paper presents a process for selecting studies based on Cohen's weighted kappa statistic, intending to decrease the inter-rater bias. Results have shown that information visualisation techniques, interactive learning resources, content recommendations, and strategies for feedback have been used in all phases of the self-regulatory process, mainly in higher education. Therefore, this paper intends to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art and give directions on different technologies used to support self-regulatory features in virtual learning environments.
