What is the self-regulation competency framework and how can this be used to enhance practice in higher education?
This webinar, hosted by Cardiff University, will give an overview of the self-regulation competency framework and how this can be used to enhance practice in Higher Education.

The webinar will explain the framework and provide some practical ideas of how to use it as tool to help planning and design of teaching sessions and assessments.
