The purpose of this practical guide is to facilitate college students' academic success by fostering self-regulated learning skills or learning to learn through the use of Integrative Learning Technologies (ILT). It enables the college instructor, online instructor, instructional developer, or educator to envision, plan for, and implement customised instructional and curricular designs that foster learning to learn and motivate students to take ownership of their own learning.

Specifically, this book demonstrates how college faculty who use Learning Management Systems (LMS) as well as emerging technologies such as Web 2.0 applications and social software can design learning tasks and course assignments that support and promote student:

goal setting
use of effective task strategies
self-monitoring and self-evaluation
time management
help seeking
motivation and affect

Given the emphasis on retention of freshmen as a measure of institutional effectiveness, the focus on student success, and the increasing use of ILT in higher education, this book fulfils a dire need in the literature on the integration of technology and self-regulated learning.
