This paper describes the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the massive open online courses (MOOCs) available in the EduOpen platform.

Abstract
This paper describes the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the massive open online courses (MOOCs) available in the EduOpen platform. In particular, data (analytics) concerning the variables didactic disciplines and didactic structuring are presented to identify main trend lines and potential critical aspects. Useful elements emerge to enhance our understanding of the main characteristics of the MOOCs offered by the EduOpen network, in particular: a) the quantitative dimensions of MOOC supply and demand, in which a greater flow of enrolment towards courses of a scientific and technological nature is evident; b) the degree of didactic structuring of the courses, where the presence of assessment tools appears to be the element that especially characterises the didactic structure of the EduOpen MOOCs. The conclusions suggest awareness-raising actions to build dashboards that can report to instructors and students in real time the critical and necessary action issues and therefore provide useful guidance both to prevent risky situations and to support teachers in the design and development of new courses.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
