Abstract

Effectiveness in eLearning is identified as meeting the users' learning goals. It has been the subject of many researches which have led to a variety of dimensions and factors affecting it. However with the latest disruption of educational technology, MOOC has changed the perceptions of eLearning by taking eLearning to a new direction. Hence effectiveness dimensions & factors revealed before the introduction of MOOC required revising in order to cater to the new demands of eLearning in MOOC. At the same time there are many MOOC platforms introduced to the market leading to a potential issue of quality as not all the MOOCs provide effective results. Users are required to identify the effectiveness of MOOC. In searching for the solution to above problem, our research revealed a 10 dimensional framework for analyzing the effectiveness of eLearning in MOOC. Those are namely interactivity, pedagogy, collaboration, usability, network of opportunity, motivation, technology, content, support for learner and assessment. The framework was built using an instrument and tested with a sample size of 121 MOOC participants. Empirical results demonstrated that the instrument is within the acceptable range of verification and validation values. Therefore the 10 dimensional effectiveness framework assists as a benchmark for MOOC stakeholders.

MOOC中电子学习有效性分析框架:学习者视角

电子学习的有效性被定义为满足用户的学习目标。它一直是许多研究的主题，导致了影响它的各种维度和因素。然而，随着教育技术的最新颠覆，MOOC改变了人们对在线学习的看法，将在线学习带入了一个新的方向。因此，在MOOC引入之前揭示的有效性维度和因素需要修改，以适应MOOC中电子学习的新需求。与此同时，市场上推出了许多MOOC平台，这导致了一个潜在的质量问题，因为并非所有的MOOC都能提供有效的结果。用户需要识别MOOC的有效性。为了解决上述问题，我们的研究揭示了一个10维的框架来分析在线学习在MOOC中的有效性。即互动性、教学法、协作、可用性、机会网络、动机、技术、内容、对学习者的支持和评估。该框架是使用仪器构建的，并以121名MOOC参与者为样本进行了测试。实验结果表明，该仪器在可接受的验证和验证值范围内。因此，10维度有效性框架有助于作为MOOC利益相关者的基准。
