Abstract

NoteMyProgress is a web tool for supporting learners’ self-regulation strategies in MOOC environments. NoteMyProgress lets learner take notes, define objectives and goals for their learning, strategically plan their learning activities, and track how they spend their time in the course. This demonstration presents the first prototype of NoteMyProgress, a Google Chrome plugin and web app that includes features for taking notes and managing the time learners spend on the course. Specifically, the article presents: (1) How NoteMyProgress is integrated with the Coursera learning platform to collect information on student learning activities; and (2) how learners can visualize their learning processes on the NoteMyProgress dashboard. This demonstration aims to show how NoteMyProgress, through interactive displays, lets learners monitor how they have spent their time in the course and how to take notes during their study sessions.
