Theories and Applications of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) : The Case for Hybrid Design

Initial research on learning in massive open online courses (MOOCs) primarily focused participation patterns and participant experiences. More recently, research has addressed learning theories and offered case studies of different pedagogical designs for MOOCs. Based on a meta-analysis and synthes...
