Abstract The purpose of this study is to contribute a better understanding the complexity conceptualising and measuring learner engagement in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). paper develops validates MOOC scale (MES) measure engagement. initial questionnaire items were developed by reviewing existing related literature validated student constructs. This was followed modified development process, including two focus group interviews ( n = 10), an exploratory survey 12), expert review...

Tourism researchers have identified the impact of perceived risk on destination choice and travel behaviour, differences in general traveller perceptions based both trip characteristics. However, such research has neglected international university students, despite expansion economic importance this market. This paper outlines an exploratory study conducted students studying at Australian university. A total 407 valid responses from sample were achieved. Factor analysis four main factors...

Abstract Prior studies of MOOC learners have focused almost exclusively on behavioural and social aspects engagement. This paper extends the scope previous by adopting a multi‐dimensional, person‐centred approach to investigate learner engagement in MOOCs. An analysis 1,452 self‐administered survey responses uncovered three prototypical categories based patterns behavioural, cognitive, emotional engagement: (a) “Individually Engaged” learners, (b) “Least (c) “Wholly learners. The study...

Abstract Past MOOC research has tended to focus on learning outcomes valued in traditional higher education settings, such as achievement and retention. This study recognises that student ratings are an important alternative outcome measure MOOCs. paper adopted a semiautomatic text mining approach collect analyse 8475 reviews submitted for 1794 The analysis revealed six themes contributed positive ratings: ‘learning’, ‘understanding’, ‘interesting’, ‘videos’, ‘recommend’, ‘questions’. then...

This study investigates the impact of embedded questions in pre-class instructional videos on learner perceptions (cognitive load, emotional engagement, satisfaction, judgement learning), video engagement (total views, total viewing time), and learning performance (retention, transfer). The research occurred a real flipped classroom environment. We designed quasi-experiment which 86 university students from two natural classes watched featuring procedural knowledge with or without...

Research on massive open online courses (MOOCs) has tended to focus outcome indicators valued in traditional higher education settings, particularly achievement and completion. This study highlights the differences between MOOCs credit-bearing university shifts this an alternative indicator—learner satisfaction. In study, engagement is identified as important antecedent of learner satisfaction conceptualised operationalised a multidimensional construct. built three regression models identify...

Videos are arguably the most important and frequently used instructional resource in massive open online courses (MOOCs). Recent research has explored learners' perceptions preferences regarding MOOC videos. However, these studies often limited to a small number of specific courses, few grounded theory have been undertaken investigate this topic. In present study, multiple-coder methodology was adopted analyze 4534 learner reviews MOOCs 14 categories. The study aimed identify key...

Abstract Objectives To evaluate whether the urinary continence (UC) recovery after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) relates to membranous urethral length (MUL) and complex volume (MUV). Materials methods 120 patients who underwent RARP were enrolled according different times of UC examined using prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before surgery. The (MU) parameters measured three-Dimensional (3D) model reconstructed by holographic technology, such as total MUV (tMUV),...

Abstract Although video-based flipped learning is a widely accepted pedagogical strategy, few attempts have been made to explore the design and integration of pre-class instructional videos into in-class activities improve effectiveness classrooms. This study investigated whether question-embedded videos, together with opportunity review these questions at beginning sessions, affected student processes outcomes. Seventy university students from two naturally constituted classes participated...

Background: The clinical value of the biomarkers bladder cancer (BC) is limited due to their low sensitivity or specificity. As a biomarker, DLG associated protein 5 (DLGAP5) potential cell cycle regulator in carcinogenesis. However, its functional part BC remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims identify DLGAP5 expression and diagnostic prognostic values. Eventually, it predicts possible RNA regulatory pathways BC. Methods: Data on levels normal tissues were obtained from Cancer Genome...

Video lectures in massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide an opportunity to not only deliver instructional content but also engage learners. While there are many different styles of video lectures, it is clear how affect learner engagement. This study analysed and critiqued typologies classified MOOC on a speaker-centric media-centric spectrum. A total 1372 survey responses were used for data analysis. The findings indicated that the 'media-centric' 'balanced' enhanced engagement varying...

As the population of cities grows, demand for sprawl increases. With expansion urban areas, management traffic has also come to a great challenge. Managers need have quick access information about citys traffic. In order achieve this goal, it is necessary build an model. However, there still lack research on modeling in China, and efficiency relatively low. This paper analyses terrain climate existing plains as well compares previous designs world, finds that flooding often occurs thus main...

Dynamic environmental circumstances can sometimes be incompatible with proactive human intentions of being safe, leading individuals to take unintended risks. Behaviour predictions, as performed in previous studies, are found involve predictors, which might thereby result biased safety conclusions about individuals’ inner engage unsafe behaviours. This research calls attention relatively less-understood worker and provides a machine learning (ML) approach help understand workers’ behaviours...

In recent years, the pace of agricultural modernization in China has been accelerating, production capacity products increased substantially, and number product brands exploded.At same time, consumer demand for become more diversified.Nowadays, traditional marketing model unable to adapt market development, information asymmetry between regions caused supply be seriously unequal, contradiction increasingly prominent.Based on perceived value consumers, this paper analyzes application strategy...
