University faculty member will study how academic achievement might be influenced by wearable technologies, such as the Apple Watch.
A Penn State faculty member is set to study how wearable and accessible technologies, such as the Apple Watch, can support students’ self-regulated learning to lead to greater academic success.
Self-regulated learning is guided by students’ knowledge, metacognitive skills, strategies, and motivation. Self-regulated learners are engaged and effective independent learners who are able to monitor and control their learning and motivation.
