Short Description

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among MOOC learners’ perceived goal achievement, their learning experiences measured with perceived learning and course satisfaction, and their intention to take additional MOOCs. A total of 202 MOOC students voluntarily participated in the study. The results showed that personal goal achievement was a more powerful predictor than instructor goal achievement for determining MOOC learners’ perceived learning and course satisfaction, which are statistically significant predictors for their intention to take additional MOOCs. Our study contributes to the existing MOOC literature that emphasizes the importance of personal goals for meaningful learning.
