Beginning with the End in Mind: An Exploratory Study of Learner Intention-Fulfillment in Statistics MOOCs

• In Event: DDL- Strategies to Encourage Self-Regulation and Learner Intention-Fulfillment in Online Courses

Short Description

We compare the grades of MOOC learners who completed a pre-course survey with learners who did not complete the survey. A chi-square test will test if there is a difference in the passing rate of the course between learners who completed the pre-course survey and those who did not and between learners who expressed intention to earn a certificate and those who did not. A logistic regression will examine predictors of the successful course completion.
