How to Augment Simulated Environments by Services Supporting Self-Regulated Learning? A Baseline Study

This paper takes up the concept of self-regulated learning (SRL) and reports results of a baseline study on a simulation for medical training. This study has been conducted to provide benchmark data and evidence of the need for the development of intelligent services for learners, e.g. metacognitive scaffolding. These services aim at augmenting existing simulators in order to close the gap between virtual and real world experiences and to facilitate SRL. Follow-up evaluations on the simulator with integrated services are planned.
