Empirical study on the important function of mobile interactive model for MOOC
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper was studied on the important function of mobile interactive model for the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) under Chinese context. We did empirical study to find out which function should be considered when designing a mobile MOOC platform. The author conducted a questionnaire in Distance Education School of Zhejiang University from the perspective of the main online learning users. We used the method of factor analysis by SPSS16.0 to analyze the research results. Through simplifying the interactive function of each module and analyzing the research results, the important function of mobile interactive model for MOOC composed of 5 modules and 7 factors were put forward. Our works have certain reference to the study of platform development and development for MOOC.
Keywords: Mobile learning, Interactive mode, Factor analysis, MOOC.
