Abstract

This paper deals with the issue of procrastination in e-learning. Suggested approach is based on compensating e-learning shortcomings and applying principles of forming a habit. Technical implementation is possible through use of mobile devices, incorporated in e-learning strategy. Respective habit loop would consist of immediate trigger (delivered by a reminder application), desired behavior (engagement in learning session) and immediate reward. Requirements on learning strategy, software and hardware are discussed, as well as a reminder mechanism and relevant system of rewards. Data processing in the reminder application is outlined for computing initial settings of the application.
