Uluru is an education platform that helps students bridge cognition and metacognition by externalizing planning, goal‑setting, and progress‑monitoring tasks, enabling them to become more self‑directed and motivated learners. The system guides students to prioritize assignments, set timers, and track their work without parental involvement, reinforcing habits such as nightly study session planning and independent progress checks. By embedding these processes into everyday study time, Uluru reduces anxiety and increases engagement across a range of subjects.
