Talk given by Ayşe Sunar of the University of Warwick at the tenth anniversary meeting of the FutureLearn Academic Network (FLAN) held at the University of Leeds / online on 23 October 2023.

Abstract

I will present key findings on the personalisation of MOOCs, drawing on two PhD theses conducted between 2013 and 2019. The projection of the past few years will be discussed in terms of the promising results of the PhD theses that helped us better understand students’ social behaviour, and the potentially promising results that we had hoped would have more impact but did not. We will discuss why these ‘successes’ and ‘failures’ are important and can be used for future research in MOOCs.
