Summary: The present study synthesizes research evidence on self-regulated learning (SRL) and academic achievement in online and blended learning environments. It found that SRL has received increased attention in these contexts and has been shown to improve academic performance in the STEM field. Multiple SRL strategies were found to be adopted in most studies. However, further research is needed on children's and adolescents' SRL strategies in online learning contexts, and more focus on the preparatory and planning phases of SRL is also necessary.

Summary: This study examined the relationships between regulated learning, teaching presence and student engagement in blended learning. A two-level model was used to analyze data from 139 participants across three universities over 13 weeks. The findings showed that teacher support and instructional design fit influenced cognitive and emotional engagement, while self-regulated learning (SRL) and co-regulated learning (CoRL) were predictors of student engagement. The study also discussed the implications for teaching practice in blended learning.

Summary: This pilot study aims to identify the perceived enablers and barriers to self-regulated and mobile-mediated learning in blended tertiary education environments. The findings suggest that blended learning can enhance students' autonomy and self-regulated learning, particularly when supported by ownership, ease of use, and familiarity with mobile devices. The major factors that facilitate or hinder self-regulated and mobile-mediated learning in blended contexts include course structure, individual factors, and technological factors. Implications for students, educators, and university policy and practice are discussed.
Evaluation: 8/10.

Summary: This study reviewed 42 research papers on self-regulated learning in technology-enriched environments in higher education from 2015 to 2021, finding that the topic is gaining interest among researchers with a focus on classical self-regulated learning models. The preferred methodology is quantitative with a questionnaire as the main data collection method, often involving students from various university degrees and analyzing LMS platforms as the most-used technology tool.

Summary: This study identifies validated questionnaires for measuring the wellness of medical students through a scoping review. These questionnaires reliably identify mental health risk factors and provide support and referral resources. However, the selection of appropriate questionnaires must be carefully considered based on the context, academic environment, and student population.

Summary: e-Portfolios are believed to help students improve second or foreign language writing in terms of motivation and academic results. However, it is still unclear how e-Portfolios can develop students' self-regulatory abilities in writing classrooms. Recent research suggests that e-Portfolios not only promote self-regulated learning, but also support co-regulation of learning through curriculum design, instructional materials, and in-class interaction patterns. Besides self-regulated learning, e-Portfolios can also support co-regulation of learning through connectivity, visibility, and circulation.

Summary: Intraprofessional learning in postgraduate medical education shows great potential for learning, influenced by factors such as sociocultural environment, learners and learning context. Awareness of learning opportunities and explicit reflection are crucial, while challenges include complexity of care, professional stereotyping, and negative perceptions. Emphasized learning outcomes include collaborative decision making, communication, and teamwork.

Summary: Combining domain knowledge with machine learning is a promising approach to address issues such as limited explainability, lack of data, and insufficient robustness. In the field of medicine, informed machine learning plays a significant role, particularly with the involvement of expert knowledge and image data. This study provides an overview and analysis of recent approaches and suggests five future research directions.

Summary: This study aims to explore the strategies medical students use to support self-regulated learning in the specific context of an integrated, student-centered curriculum. Through semi-structured interviews with first-year medical students from two medical schools, it was found that students developed strategies to plan for integration and build connections across material to support self-regulated learning.

Summary: The study explores the moral development of medical students during clinical training, revealing stages of confusion, defensiveness characterized by desensitization and justification, and eventually approaching self-authorship. It suggests that curriculum and support during clinical training should match and support students' progress in understanding and making moral decisions in clinical settings.
