Short Description

This paper examined how learner’s self-efficacy and student’s participation in a MOOCs affect their achievement, and its moderation. More specifically, investigation of the relationship between learning achievement and the participation through the video and forum posting was conducted to reveal the degree to which participation can be the basis for predicting learner’s completion of the course and receiving a certificate. Findings support our hypotheses: Intention to certification and participation behaviors are important factors that predict student’s achievement, and success in the course.
