Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs): Misperceptions of Completion Rates
The Misalignment of Measurements and Actual Participation
University of Phoenix
Abstract
Presented in this paper are the results of part of a modified Delphi study regarding
participation and completion rates in MOOCs. The limited research and inconsistencies in
practices, participation, and completion rates needed further research. The study assisted in
examining the tools, methodology, and participation within the MOOC environment. The unique
results presented here center around the aspects of the length of MOOCs, perceptions of good
participation and completion rates, and methods of measuring participation and completion.
Experts were able to help the researcher pinpoint an anomaly in the measurement of
participation and completion. Best practiced evolved in the areas of the alignment of actual and
measured areas of participation and completion
