Understanding the dynamics of MOOC discussion forums with simulation investigation for empirical network analysis (SIENA)
Distance Education. 2016. Vol. 37. No. 3. P. 270–286.
Zhang J., Skryabin M., Song X.
This study attempts to make inferences about the mechanisms that drive network change over time. It adopts simulation investigation for empirical network analysis to examine the patterns and evolution of relationships formed in the context of a massive open online course (MOOC) discussion forum. Four network effects—homophily, reciprocity, transitivity, and preferential attachment—were tested to explain the dynamic mechanisms of interaction in the MOOC forum. Understanding the network dynamics of relationships will allow us to explore how to develop a robust peer-supported learning environment and in turn improve the online learning experience in MOOCs.

Research on learner engagement in massive open online courses (MOOCs) has predominantly focused on those developed by educational and non-profit organizations. However, the significance of MOOCs offered by IT service providers (vendors), particularly in the field of cloud computing, has gained prominence in recent years. These vendor-led courses facilitate interaction between learners and vendors, underscoring the ...

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a fundamental skill to succeed in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), but many learners do not know how to self-regulate their learning. The need to support SRL in MOOCs led to the idea of social-psychological interventions that promise to improve course performance and decrease dropout rates. However, past research provides mixed ...

We report the coexistence of synchronized and unsynchronized states in a mutually coupled star network of nearly conservative non-identical oscillators. Generalized synchronization is observed between the central oscillator with the peripherals, and phase synchronization is found among the peripherals in weakly dissipative systems. However, the basin size of the synchronization region decreases as dissipation strength ...
