Georgetown ’s First Six MOOCs: Completion, Intention, and Gender Achievement Gaps

Georgetown ’s First Six MOOCs: Completion, Intention, and Gender Achievement Gaps | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
"This analysis of Georgetown’s first six MOOCs (massive open online courses) comprises three parts, moving from general to specific in scope. I begin with a discussion of demographic factors across all six courses, seeking to answer the following question: “Who takes, and succeeds in these courses?” Next, I discuss the relationship between stated intention and course performance with survey data from a pre-course survey for Georgetown’s very first MOOC, an economics course. I end by examining the gender achievement gap in the same economics course. [Healy, P. A. (2017). Undergraduate Economic Review, 14(1)]

I prefer a terminology referring somewhat less instrumentally to demand-side vs institutional perspective, but other than that couldn't agree more.

"Supporters of open academic content have long touted its ability to widen the impact and productivity of scholarship while relieving cost pressures in academia. While the development of open access (OA) publishing and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been labeled a disruption to publishing and the academic community, this study finds that OA has a more tempered impact on scholarship while the impact of MOOCs on teaching is more severe.Click here to edit the content."  [SAGE Open]
