Zusammenfassung:Two e-learning modules are being developed to improve self-regulation and lifelong learning readiness. More than 150 mechanical engineering students completed first versions of the two modules in 2012. An evaluation of the module results suggests that students are learning the module content and tend to enjoy taking the modules. The modules were also tested as an intervention for improving lifelong readiness as measured by the SDLRS. Comparing scores of the SDLRS taken before and after the modules showed a statistically significant gain (p
