Mubarak, Ahmed Ali; Ahmed, Salah A. M.; Cao, Han – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
In this study, we propose a MOOC Analytic Statistical Visual model (MOOC-ASV) to explore students' engagement in MOOC courses and predict their performance on the basis of their behaviors logged as big data in MOOC platforms. The model has multifunctions, which performs on visually analyzing learners' data by state-of-the-art techniques. The model…

Douglas, Kerrie A.; Bermel, Peter; Alam, Md Monzurul; Madhavan, Krishna – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2016
MOOCs attract a large number of learners with largely unknown diversity in terms of motivation, ability, and goals. To understand more about learners in highly technical engineering MOOCs, this study investigates patterns of learners' (n = 337) behaviour and performance in the Nanophotonic Modelling MOOC, offered through nanoHUB-U. The authors…

Dart, Evan H.; Radley, Keith C.; Briesch, Amy M.; Furlow, Christopher M.; Cavell, Hannah J.; Briesch, Amy M. – Behavioral Disorders, 2016
Two studies investigated the accuracy of eight different interval-based group observation methods that are commonly used to assess the effects of classwide interventions. In Study 1, a Microsoft Visual Basic program was created to simulate a large set of observational data. Binary data were randomly generated at the student level to represent…

Youngs, Bonnie L.; Prakash, Akhil; Nugent, Rebecca – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2018
Logged tracking data for online courses are generally not available to instructors, students, and course designers and developers, and even if these data were available, most content-oriented instructors do not have the skill set to analyze them. Learning analytics, mined from logged course data and usually presented in the form of learning…

D'Amico, Mark M.; Morgan, Grant B.; Robertson, Shun; Houchins, Carlie – Journal of Continuing Higher Education, 2014
Nearly 40% of all public community college enrollment is in noncredit courses. While there have been several recent reports on the noncredit function at community colleges, little has been done in terms of large-scale studies and/or statewide analyses on this population. The purpose of this study was to explore one state's community college…
