Learner Behaviour in a MOOC Practice-oriented Course: In Empirical Study Integrating TAM and TPB

Few practice-oriented courses are currently integrated into online learning platforms, such as OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It is worthwhile to explore how learners respond to information technology and new teaching methods when practice-oriented course are...
