Abstract
Successful student transition to higher education is influenced by assumptions and
self-awareness about how to learn at a tertiary level. Learn2Learn is an online
program aiming to teach students how to be self-regulated learners and manage their
own learning outcomes, thus promoting their autonomy. Commencing and first year
higher education students were invited to participate in the program, with 46 students
participating. Correlation and regression analysis were significant, showing increases
in module completion were associated with higher academic scores. Findings and
implications are presented and discussed in this paper.
