Due to the rapid shift to online learning, it has become increasingly difficult for teachers to monitor students’ learning experiences. This paper analyzes teachers’ experiences with an online tool for monitoring students’ metacognitive states during the learning process. Through an open-ended questionnaire, we collected teachers’ aims for starting to use the tool and experienced benefits. Our results show that teachers use this tool to understand the learning status of students in greater depth and to adjust their teaching according to feedback collected during the course. Moreover, teachers reported receiving better quality summative course feedback after starting to use the tool.
