Abstract

This paper aims to develop a model of measuring student engagement in a blended-MOOC context. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are those that are delivered, usually by leading universities, with a promise to provide free high-quality education to an unlimited number of learners. They offer an opportunity for ‘blended’ course design, where instructors can integrate MOOC content within face to face educational activities and components.
Three internationally recognized existing frameworks, the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), UK Engagement Survey (UKES) and Student Engagement Questionnaire (SEQ) were combined into a single model. The model was confirmed by a panel of thirty-five expert practitioners. A trial evaluation using the model was carried out on thirteen students who had participated in a course that had adopted a blended-MOOC format.
The confirmed model has nine indicators which provide information about distinct aspects of student engagement.
It is considered to be the first model designed to measure student engagement within the blended-MOOC context.
