IntroductionAsynchronous online courses require substantial learner independence, yet structural flexibility does not necessarily lead to self-determined learning. This study examines the transition from self-regulated learning (SRL) to self-determined learning and explores how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) may scaffold heutagogical development.MethodsWe conducted a secondary qualita…

This study proposes a context-based model of language learning grounded in how languages distribute meaning across lexical and contextual dimensions.
