Excellent tips about embedding autonomy and self-management into learners’ work routines. I did not know about MyStudyLife. It sounds like a helpful tool for learners: https://www.mystudylife.com/
For learners to take ownership of their learning it is key for them to understand what evidence they must demonstrate and how they have demonstrated it. They can learn so much by being encouraged to self-assess and peer-assess!
