I was privileged to co-author a chapter with Jako Olivier and Tom Mackey in this open access book published in November 2021. Our chapter is Aligning Metaliteracy with Self-Directed Learning to Expand Assessment Opportunities. The book, Learning Through Assessment: An Approach Towards Self Directed Learning, was edited by Elsa Mentz and Anitia Lubbe.

This is a rough and ready Google Scholar search on the topic. I will start to address SDL in the Other Pursuits section of this site.
