Assessing program-level learning strategies in MOOCs

作者:

Highlights:

• We describe a learning analytics method for the assessment of study strategies in MOOCs.

• The method is based on Latent Class Analysis (LCA) measurement model and enables fine-grained evaluation of study behavior.

• We assessed student study strategies across four-course professional development program.

• We identified four program-level strategies comprising of six weekly study strategies.

• The identified strategies were associated with different level of student engagement and course success.
