Enjoyed or Bored? A Study into Achievement Emotions and the Association with Barriers to Learning in MOOCs

Henderikx, M., Löhr, A. & Kalz, M. (2019). Enjoyed or Bored? A Study into Achievement Emotions and the Association with Barriers to Learning in MOOCs. In: Scheffel, M., Broisin, J., Pammer-Schindler, V., Ioannou, A. & Schneider, J. (Hrsg.), Transforming Learning with Meaningful Technologies. Proceedings of the European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) 2019 (S. 15-27) (Band 11722, 1. Auflage). Cham: Springer.

Abstract
MOOCs are accessible online personal development opportunities in which learners can expand their knowledge on many topics. Yet, the experience of barriers to learning often hinders learners from achieving their personal learning goals. Therefore, it is important to have insight into determinants that may influence the experience of (certain) barriers. This study investigated whether the emotional determinants enjoyment and boredom, which are known to impact learner achievement and motivation, affect the experience of (specific) barriers while learning in MOOCs. The results show that boredom did affect the experience of barriers related to technical and online related skills, social context and time, support and motivation, yet it did not affect the experience of barriers related to the design of the MOOC. Enjoyment was not correlated to any of the barriers. Furthermore, the same analysis comparing men to women again revealed that boredom did not significantly affect the experience of barriers related to the design of the MOOC, yet did significantly affect the experience of the other barriers. No, significant differences were found between males and females These findings may serve as input for supporting learners in achieving their individual learning goals.

Identifying Critical Features for Formative Essay Feedback with Artificial Neural Networks and Backward Elimination

Abbas, M., Rosmalen, P. v. & Kalz, M. (2019). Identifying Critical Features for Formative Essay Feedback with Artificial Neural Networks and Backward Elimination. In: Scheffel, M., Broisin, J., Ioannou, A. & Schneider, J. (Hrsg.), Transforming Learning with Meaningful Technologies. Proceedings of the European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) 2019 (S. 396-408) (Band 11722, 1. Auflage). Cham: Springer.

Abstract
For predicting and improving the quality of essays, text analytic metrics (surface, syntactic, morphological and semantic features) can be used to provide formative feedback to the students. In this study, the intent was to find a small number of features that exhibit a fair proxy of the scores given by the human raters. Using an existing corpus and a text analysis tool for the Dutch language, a large number of features were extracted. Artificial neural networks, Levenberg Marquardt algorithm and backward elimination were used to reduce the number of extracted features automatically. Irrelevant features were eliminated based on the inter-rater agreement between predicted and human scores calculated using Cohen’s Kappa. By using our algorithm, the number of features in this study was reduced from 457 to 23. The selected features were grouped into six different categories. Of these categories, we believe that the features present in the groups “Word Difficulty” and “Lexical Diversity” are most useful for providing automated formative feedback to the students. The approach presented in this research paper is the first step towards our ultimate goal of providing meaningful formative feedback to the students for enhancing their writing skills and capabilities.

Identifying Learning Activity Sequences that Are Associated with High Intention-Fulfillment in MOOCs

Rabin, E., Silber-Varod, V., Kalman, Y. M. & Kalz, M. (2019). Identifying Learning Activity Sequences that Are Associated with High Intention-Fulfillment in MOOCs. In: Scheffel, M., Broisin, J., Pammer-Schindler, V., Ioannou, A. & Schneider, J. (Hrsg.), ransforming Learning with Meaningful Technologies. Proceedings of the European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) 2019 (S. 224-235) (1. Auflage). Cham: Springer.

Abstract
Learners join MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) with a variety of intentions. The fulfillment of these initial intentions is an important success criterion in self-paced and open courses. Using post course self-reported data enabled us to divide the participants to those who fulfilled the initial intentions (high-IF) and those who did not fulfill their initial intentions (low-IF). We used methods adapted from natural language processing (NLP) to analyze the learning paths of 462 MOOC participants and to identify activities and activity sequences of participants in the two groups. Specifically, we used n-gram analysis to identify learning activity sequences and keyness analysis to identify prominent learning activities. These measures enable us to identify the differences between the two groups. Differences can be seen at the level of single activities, but major differences were found when longer n-grams were used. The high-IF group showed more consistency and less divergent learning behavior. High-IF was associated, among other things, with study patterns of sequentially watching video lectures. Theoretical and practical suggestions are introduced in order to help MOOC developers and participants to fulfill the participants’ learning intentions.

The Influence of Self-regulation, Self-efficacy and Motivation as Predictors of Barriers to Satisfaction in MOOCs

Rabin, E., Henderikx, M., Kalman, Y. M. & Kalz, M. (2019). The Influence of Self-regulation, Self-efficacy and Motivation as Predictors of Barriers to Satisfaction in MOOCs. In: Scheffel, M., Broisin, J., Pammer-Schindler, V., Ioannou, A. & Schneider, J. (Hrsg.), Transforming Learning with Meaningful Technologies. Proceedings of the European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) 2019 (S. 631-635) (Band 11722, 1. Auflage). Cham: Springer.

Abstract
This study focuses on identifying the barriers to satisfaction of MOOC participants, and the predictors of these barriers. Five hundred and forty-two English as a Second Language MOOC participants responded to pre- and post-questionnaires. Using exploratory factor analysis three kinds of barriers were identified, namely: ‘Lack of interestingness/relevance’, ‘Lack of time/bad planning’ and ‘Lack of knowledge/technical problem’. The effects of the participant’s age, gender and level of self-efficacy, motivation, self-regulation learning skills and the intention to complete the course were analyzed as predictors of those barriers. Theoretical and practical implications regarding online learner satisfaction are discussed.

Massive open online education for environmental activism: The worldwide problem of marine litter

Tabuenca, B., Kalz, M. & Löhr, A. (2019). Massive open online education for environmental activism: The worldwide problem of marine litter. Sustainability, 11(10), 1-16.

Abstract
The amount of plastic discharges in the environment has drastically increased in the last decades negatively affecting aquatic ecosystems, societies, and the world economy. The policies initiated to deal with this problem are insufficient and there is an urgency to initiate local actions based on a deep understanding of the factors involved. (2) This paper investigates the potential of massive open online courses (MOOCs) to spread environmental education. Therefore, the conclusions drawn from the implementation of a MOOC to combat the problem of marine litter in the world are presented. (3) This work describes the activity of 3632 participants from 64 countries taking an active role presenting useful tools, connecting them with the main world associations, and defining applied action plans in their local area. Pre- and post-questionnaires explore behavioral changes regarding the actions of participants to combat marine litter. The role of MOOCs is contrasted with social media, formal education, and informal education. (4) Findings suggest that MOOCs are useful instruments to promote environmental activism, and to develop local solutions to global problems, for example, clean beaches, supplanting plastic bottles, educational initiatives, and prohibition of single-use plastic.

The cathedral’s ivory tower and the open education bazaar – catalyzing innovation in the higher education sector

Rabin, E., Kalman, Y. M. & Kalz, M. (2019). The cathedral’s ivory tower and the open education bazaar – catalyzing innovation in the higher education sector. Open Learning: The Journal of Open, Distance and e-Learning, 35(10), 82-99.

Abstract
Will open education replace traditional higher education, or augment it? Digital innovation in the higher education sector is fuelling speculation about the transformation of higher education and the future role of universities. Much of the speculation makes questionable implicit assumptions about current and future business models in the higher education sector. This conceptual paper applies an innovation management perspective to critically examine the use and misuse of the business model concept in the context of digital innovation in the higher education sector. Using Raymond’s metaphor of the cathedral and the bazaar which contrasted traditional commercial software development (the cathedral) with open source software development (the bazaar). We analogise this relationship with the relationship between ‘cathedral-type’ business models in traditional higher education (e.g. universities) and ‘bazaar-type’ business models in open education (e.g. open educational resource publishers). Using the historical perspective we now have on the software industry’s evolution we critique the ubiquitous replacement narrative of destruction and disruption of the sector, and propose an alternative narrative of interdependence and mutual innovative catalysis. We predict that higher education ecosystems will be based on synergistic relationships between organisations that represent many gradations on the continuum between ‘cathedral-type’ and ‘bazaar-type’ organisations.
