• There are several self-regulated learning strategies that can be followed by students in order to attain their learning goals.They involve different issues, from motivation to cognitive and metacognitive believes and procedures. In conjunction,they involve learners taking full awareness and responsibility of their own learning. Nowadays, many software tools areused by teachers and by students to carry out different learning activities. In this research piece we wonder if these tools arewell prepared to support the development of self-regulated learning strategies by students. In order to know to what extentthese software tools offer this support we defined several criteria for designing software tools with proper support for theseself-regulated learning processes, and mainly for the implementation of self-regulated learning strategies. From the criteriawe created a questionnaire to evaluate the level of support offered by a software tool for these strategies. This questionnaireallows the evaluation of software tools in this respect, enabling its selection and providing useful information for softwaredevelopers so they can improve their tools to offer better support. Here we present an example of some results obtainedfrom the first refinement stage of this questionnaire, and also the calibration process of the scores to get coherent results.
