Encouraging Self Regulated Learning Through Electronic Portfolios
Our Mission• To conduct solution-oriented
research on problems of academic failure and underachievement.
• To study the acquisition of foundational literacies and core academic competencies.
• To develop technology-enhanced learning environments.
• To focus on Quebec with a pan-Canadian and international outreach.
Our e-Portfolio Project• Multi-year, multi-disciplinary, collaborative,
international research and development project. 2000-present Team: educational psychologists, instructional designers,
designers/programmers, RECIT, ICT and ELA consultants, researchers, teachers, students

The ePEARL Process• ePEARL is more than a multimedia container• ePEARL is more than a tool to showcase students’
work• ePEARL is a knowledge tool which scaffolds and
supports the process of self-regulated learning.
• What is self-regulation?Self-regulation refers to personal thoughts,
feelings, and actions that are planned, and then revised, to attain personal goals.
Self-regulation is a cyclical process because the feedback from prior performance is used to make adjustments during current efforts.
Self Regulation Learning (SRL)• Learners with high levels of self-regulation
Have good control over the attainment of their goals and seek mastery outcomes
Can focus on the process of how to acquire these skills and learning outcomes—meta-cognition
Have higher levels of self-efficacyHave higher levels of achievement
• SRL relates and prepares students for the ‘real world’
• SRL provides ownership over learning
• SRL creates lifelong learners
What are Effective Self-Regulation Processes?
• Web-based, bilingual electronic portfolio software that is both a learning (process) and presentation multimedia tool.
• Levels 1 - Early Elementary; Level 2 - Late elementary; Level 3 - Secondary

learners within student-centred classrooms
