Development and Evaluation of Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) as a Supplementary Learning Tool: An Initial Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 7
Abstract
The popularity of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is prevalent among researchers and practitioners as a new paradigm of open education resource. Since the development of this technology may entail enormous investment, it is critical for institutions to clearly plan the process in designing, developing and evaluating MOOCs that fulfill the needs of target users while keeping the investment to a minimum. Evaluation plays a vital role in assuring that the developed product meets user’s satisfaction. This study presents the process of developing a MOOC as a supplementary learning tool for students in a higher education and its usability evaluation which are rarely discussed in detail in prior literatures. Evaluation was done through a questionnaire and the items were adapted from Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ). The MOOC development process in this research which was based on the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) model and the MOOC usability evaluation results enrich existing literatures on MOOC. Overall, findings showed that users were satisfied with the developed MOOC with most of the items gained high mean score above 4.00. When respondents were asked to comment on the strength of the MOOC, the most prominent one turned out to be the MOOC’s ability to make students’ learning easier.
