Abstract
Awareness and reflection play a crucial role in the learning process, helping the involved
actors to succeed in self-regulated learning and to optimise their learning experience.
Whether in traditional education, workplace training or lifelong learning, appropriate
feedback together with proper assessment of previous practices can bring benefits for all
the participants and cultivate their reflective skills, which are essential for effective
learning.
In technology enhanced learning (TEL), the challenge is to collect relevant data about
the learning process, support the participants in interpreting the data meaningfully and
present the outcomes in an understandable form. In order to offer useful technology for
this purpose, its designers and developers need to incorporate knowledge from various
disciplines, like pedagogy, psychology, neuroscience and informatics.
