The Purposes of MOOC-Related Research
• Who engages in MOOCs and why?
– Participation rates
• How do MOOCs help people learn?

Findings From MOOC Research
• Most enrollees are educated and are
not seeking a degree
• Around 50% of MOOC enrollees are
not in the U.S.
• Most enrollees are engaging in MOOCS
out of interest in the subject matter

The Coursera Dashboard
• Levels of Participation:
– Visitors (those who simply visit the site
but take no action)
– Auditors (those who watch lectures and
view pages but take no action)
– Participants (those who submit an
exercise or join a discussion)
