Stuck in the MOOC with you
7 August, 2025
Research in the International Journal of Continuing Engineering Education and Life-Long Learning has looked at why some students persist with Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) while many others quietly drop out. It is an issue that has long dogged the promise of online education... In the current work, the team has turned to a statistical technique known as Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (FSQCA) to look for multiple causes of MOOC dropouts. FSQCA can be used to examine how combinations of conditions work to produce a given outcome. In the case of MOOCs, the approach has looked at how different complex and context-dependent factors lead to students persisting or failing to complete a course [...]
