Paper Abstract:
|
This paper explores the dynamics of teamwork in a team-based Massive Open Online Course. The purpose of the study is
to discover patterns and characteristics of the students in teams that completed the course. Many studies have revealed that
a very small percentage of students complete Massive Open Online Courses. The percentage is even smaller in MOOCs
that involve peer-assessment. This study aims to give conscious advice for future MOOC students on how to complete a
team-based peer-assessed MOOC by studying the dynamics of successful teams. A qualitative research method was utilized
in the study. Data were collected from observing the MOOC platform and conducting interviews with successful team
members and team leaders. |
