Due to the peculiarity of being massiveness, the large datasets generated by MOOCs platforms require advance tools to reveal hiddenpatterns for enhancing learning and educational environments. This paper offers an interesting study on using one of these tools, clustering, to portray learners’ engagement in MOOCs. The research study analyse a university mandatory MOOC, and also opened to the public, in order to classify students into appropriate profiles based on their engagement...

For the past few years, MOOCs have taken over edtech conversations, as educators explore opportunities to reach more and more students around the world.One of the first companies to pioneer this industry was edX, a MOOC platform founded by Harvard and MIT. Over 4 years later, edX has reached the next phase of MOOC evolution: Accreditation.At SXSWedu this year, founding CEO Anant Agarwal discussed the new wave of MOOC development in “From College to Jobs: MOOCs and Credentialing.”To learn more about the status of MOOCs, we spoke to Anant Agarwal himself about what he calls “MOOC 2.0.”

It has been established that positive academic self-efficacy beliefs contribute tolearner success. Self-efficacy is highly context dependent, and massive, open, online coursesMOOCs are a new learning context for many leaners. Therefore, it is important to considerhow the design of MOOCs can support the development of positive self-efficacy beliefs. Inthis paper the author considers typical elements included in MOOCs and how those elementsmay be designed to enhance learner self-efficacy...

...This focus on completion rates, however, reflects a monolithic view of disengagement that does not allow MOOC designers to target interventions or develop adaptive course features for particular subpopulations of learners. To address this, we present a simple, scalable, and informative classification method that identifies a small number of longitudinal engagement trajectories in MOOCs ...

Il prône pour l'Afrique francophone le développement de cours en ligne peu onéreux à produire afin de pallier le manque d'enseignants. Une série de commentaires de l'article particulièrement intéressants également.

The researchers explain that as institutions look to third-party (Coursera, edX, Udacity, etc.) provided MOOCs for credit, it’s important to investigate whether these MOOCs meet certain standards of quality.

... this paper suggests that the MOOC project, as a typical example of initiatives in this field, fails to engage with a theory of the subject. As such, uncritical and problematic forms of humanism tend to be assumed in the promotion and delivery of these courses: the expectation of rational and self-directing individuals, with a universal desire for education. This fundamental orthodoxy limits both the understanding of technology and the possibilities for a concept of ‘openness’ in education. Given the global scale of the MOOC, and its high-profile associations with elite universities, the need for critical alternatives is pressing...

In MOOCs, there is much discussion about persistence and completion. However,there is yet no consensus and this makes it difficult to analyze the success of this kind of system. At the University Jean Moulin, we needed a framework in order to objectively determine the relevance of our MOOCs from the learner’s point of view. We therefore propose a learner-centered model to define the mechanisms of commitment and a dynamic classification of participants...

Researchers describe with increasing confidence what they observe participants doing in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). However, our understanding of learner activities in open courses is limited by researchers’ extensive dependence on log file analyses and clickstream data to make inferences about learner behaviors.
