davidgibson's curator insight, April 11, 7:54 PM

Without scanning the whole article, what do you think we can do to dive deeper into use patterns? That is, how can we go deeper than what is mentioned in this quote:

 

"They found that people take classes or stop for different reasons, and therefore referring globally to "dropouts" makes no sense in the online context. They identified four groups of participants: those who completed most assignments, those who audited, those who gradually disengaged and those who sporadically sampled. (Most students who sign up never actually show up, making their inclusion in the data problematic.) The point of all this is not simply to record who is doing what but to "provide educators, instructional designers and platform developers with insights for designing effective and potentially adaptive learning environments that best meet the needs of MOOC participants," the researchers wrote."

What is disappointing is the continual lack of recognition of the research, design and best practices that have come from earlier work on online learning.
