Abstract
With constant technological advances, there are new and evolving methods for assisting learners master content. This paper conceptualizes how an adaptive application could deliver metacognitive prompts within an online learning environment to help learners achieve their goals, shift mindsets about learning, and develop motivation to learn. The nature of the adaptive application will be described and literature on the methods for delivery and metacognitive topics reviewed. Combining adaptive technology with metacognitive learning strategies could provide a level of learning support not yet realized in current online learning environments. This paper proposes that this style of prompt-based adaptive application delivering carefully crafted metacognitive prompts on goals, mindsets, and motivation could help foster better learning habits and outcomes.
