Development of Students Learning Capabilities and Professional Capabilities

This paper describes the work-in-progress on a project that aims to
develop a tool that via learning analytic methods enable students
to enhance, document and assess the development of their learning
capabilities and professional capabilities in consequence of their
self-initiated study activities during their bachelor educations. The
tool aims at enhancing the development of students’ capabilities to
self-initiate, self-regulate and self-assess their study activities.
The tool uses the concept of collective intelligence as source for
motivation and inspiration in self-initiating study activities as well
as self-assessing them. The tool is based on a heutagogical approach
to support reflection on learning potential in these activities. This
enhances the educational use of students self-initiated learning
activities by bringing visibility and evidence to them, and thereby
bringing value to the assessment of the study activities to benefit
the student as well as the educational institution.
