****************** Terms and conditions: ENGLISH ****************** ----- DECLARATION OF INFORMATION FOR THE PARTICIPANT ----- (1) What is the study about? The study focuses on the research and development of technological tools that support self-regulation learning strategies for students who enroll in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). This research work aims to understand students' capacity for self-regulation and to check whether their objectives are realistic and met. That way, we'll be able to detect possible weak points or problems and try to solve them. MOOCnager is a plug-in that is being developed to support self-regulating learning strategies of MOOC participants through different elements. The student can specify which courses he is enrolled in and set goals for each of them. In addition, he can improve the time management skills by depicting his objectives in a calendar, focused on improving planning. On the other hand, the participant will be able to assess his or her attitude and level of performance to foster self-evaluation. Finally, the user may receive a weekly email with a report of his or her performance in the course, if he or she provides a correct username and an email address (i.e. the same ones used in his edX account). This report will include different views with the data provided by the edX platform. For this purpose, the data from the edX MOOCs indicated in the application will be related to the data collected by the application. MOOCnager is a plug-in designed for Google Chrome Browser. It is focused on the MOOCs on programming in Java offered by the Universidad Carlos III, in its Spanish and English versions. This plugin records student information regarding the courses where the user is registered, the set objectives and the student's self-assessment. In addition, the user's registration information is stored as well as the IP address from which he or she first connects.
