Abstract

Video-based learning and digital note-taking are widely adopted by online learners. To investigate how to better support self-paced online learners’ note-taking and learning activities, we presented and evaluated NoteCoStruct, a digital note-taking and note-sharing tool for video-based learning by scaffolding the learners through a structured note-taking process and displaying learning traces left by peers watching the same videos before. With an online laboratory study involving 20 participants, we found that NoteCoStruct significantly reduced perceived distraction caused by note-taking, fostered a sense of learning community, and better engaged learners cognitively and emotionally in video-based learning. We discussed our findings and outlined possible future work around digital note-taking and note-sharing tools.

Supporting learners' self-regulated learning in Massive Open Online Courses
Abstract
In MOOCs, learners are typically presented with great autonomy over their learning process. Therefore, learners should engage in self-regulated learning (SRL) in order to successfully study in a MOOC. Learners however often struggle to self-...
Highlights
- Learners struggle to regulate their learning in massive open online courses (MOOCs).
- A self-regulated learning (SRL) intervention was implemented in three MOOCs.
- Learners' SRL was measured with trace data variables.
