Paper Abstract:
|
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are those that are delivered, usually by leading universities, with a promise to provide free high-quality education to an unlimited number of learners. They offer a new opportunity for blended course design, where instructors can integrate MOOC content within campus course components and activities. This kind of blended learning will help face-to-face instructors use the time for meaningful discussions, identifying and clarifying misconceptions or mentoring students in a group project. This study aims to propose a new measurement that can be used to measure student engagement in the blended-MOOC course design. The well-established National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and Student Engagement Questionnaire (SEQ) were selected as a framework of a model to measure student engagement in a blended-MOOC context. The model has 11 indicators that provide information about distinct aspects of student engagement. The use of this model was confirmed by a panel of 20 expert practitioners. A trial evaluation using the model was conducted as a pilot study of 13 students who had taken a course in the blended MOOC format. The contribution of the study will be to improve the general understanding of the impact of the MOOC systems in higher education and identify benefits specific to learners. |
