Findings Several techniques used for addressing

several issues

23-25 May 2015

Adaptive content presentation

Poor pedagogical design

Adaptive navigation • Poor content engagement • Lack of study skills

Adaptive feedback Poor feedback

Recommender system • Heterogeneity of learners • High dropouts • Excessive information on

discussion forums


Use of social network analysis Researchers analysed enormous data of

learners on discussion forums and other social media tools to answer: Which social media tools are used often? Who contributed more? Who interacted with whom? Is there any pattern of relations?

23-25 May 2015


Conclusion & Future Work Growing attention to personalisation in

MOOCs since 2013 Several different personalisation

techniques applied for many different issues

More social learning network analysis and use of big data collected from social communication tools
