Good Design is Universal: Using Universal Design Principles to Promote Self-Regulated Learning in Learning Management Systems When Teaching Information Literacy

Abstract

Abstract Librarians recognize that they occupy an online presence in the lives of students, particularly with the rise in use of online resources and increased library integration with campus learning management systems. Self-regulated learning are personal behaviors that move individuals toward their goals. As students increasingly work at a distance, librarians must find ways to support self-regulation in online settings. Using Universal Design for Learning as their guiding framework, the authors share best practices from the literature, and their own experiences, to support self-regulated learning in learning management systems when creating library resources and teaching information literacy.
