Your click decides your fate: Inferring information processing and attrition behavior from mooc video clickstream interactions
arXiv preprint arXiv:1407.7131, 2014•arxiv.org
In this work, we explore video lecture interaction in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs),
which is central to student learning experience on these educational platforms. As a
research contribution, we operationalize video lecture clickstreams of students into
cognitively plausible higher level behaviors, and construct a quantitative information
processing index, which can aid instructors to better understand MOOC hurdles and reason
about unsatisfactory learning outcomes. Our results illustrate how such a metric inspired by …

In this work, we explore video lecture interaction in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which is central to student learning experience on these educational platforms. As a research contribution, we operationalize video lecture clickstreams of students into cognitively plausible higher level behaviors, and construct a quantitative information processing index, which can aid instructors to better understand MOOC hurdles and reason about unsatisfactory learning outcomes. Our results illustrate how such a metric inspired by cognitive psychology can help answer critical questions regarding students' engagement, their future click interactions and participation trajectories that lead to in-video & course dropouts. Implications for research and practice are discussed
