Abstract

Many studies are related to MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) in the scientific literature. However, there are hardly any global approaches to experiences extended over time that provide a broader picture of the functioning of these initiatives, especially lacking large-scale analysis and outside the Anglo-Saxon sphere. This case study analyses the profiles, preferences, and satisfaction data of over 2.7 million unique users of the MOOCs that the Universitat Politècnica de València has been offering since 2013 to a mainly Spanish-speaking public. This descriptive analysis uses the analytics provided by the platforms used and a satisfaction survey with more than 77,000 responses. The results reveal similar demographics to those reported in other studies, a stagnation in enrolment in recent years, and the measures adopted by edX to achieve sustainability have reduced the number of successful candidates. The most requested subjects are languages and courses on software office tools. In addition, students confirm their satisfaction with the initiative (3.92/5 in terms of expectations met), courses and platforms, as well as the fact that they spend an average of 3 hours a week following the courses, that they consider the duration of the teaching videos to be between 3 and 10 minutes and that they consider the options for resolving doubts offered by UPV to be sufficient.

瓦伦西亚政治大学MOOC项目10年。学生简介，偏好和满意度

在科学文献中，许多研究都与大规模在线开放课程(Massive Open Online Courses，简称MOOCs)有关。然而，几乎没有任何全球性的方法来研究长期以来的经验，以提供这些倡议运作的更广泛的图景，特别是缺乏大规模的分析和在盎格鲁-撒克逊范围之外。本案例研究分析了瓦伦西亚政治大学自2013年以来向主要讲西班牙语的公众提供的慕课的270多万独立用户的个人资料、偏好和满意度数据。这种描述性分析使用了所使用的平台提供的分析和超过77,000个回复的满意度调查。结果显示，与其他研究报告的人口统计数据相似，近年来入学人数停滞不前，edX为实现可持续性而采取的措施减少了成功候选人的数量。要求最多的科目是语言和软件办公工具课程。此外，学生们确认了他们对课程的主动性(3.92/5)、课程和平台的满意度，以及他们平均每周花3小时学习课程的事实，他们认为教学视频的持续时间在3到10分钟之间，他们认为UPV提供的解决疑问的选项是足够的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
