Abstract:

Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches, the evaluation approach built on a set of intended participant outcomes agreed in advance of the MOOCs to investigate what changes participants experienced by following the MOOC(s). A series of pre-, post- and follow-up surveys (conducted two months after the end of the course) enabled direct comparison of participants’ self-reported attitudes, values, skills and perceptions. A qualitative analysis of the discussions undertaken within one course, Navigation Through the Ages, provided a complementary perspective of more indirect evidence regarding participants’ experiences.
