Looking at Six Different Cases of Self-directed Learning & Performance
Application
CorePlanner is a flexible learning tool. It was designed as such to provide a generic format to accomodate teachers according to their own strategy of developing Core expertise.
The purpose of this study is to identify whether or not self-directed learning is a key factor leading to successful academic performance in web-based learning environments. The in-depth analysis and discussion of each study finds that the effect of self-directed learning on academic success in web-based environments is divergent among six case studies.
