“…This course is structured similar to a traditional course with all content predefined by the instructor (-xMOOC‖) [17]. Different with cMOOCs that are based on connectivism, xMOOCs are based on the theoretical presentation of the learning context, supplemented by interactive tasks and discussion boards activities.…”

Abstract-Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are the latest e-learning initiative to attain widespread popularity in the world. Unfortunately, nearly all of these studies are built from western insights. Thus, there is a need for a thematic and practical analysis of related studies to bring a better understanding of MOOCs with eastern insights. In this paper, a study is conducted focusing on the use of MOOCs from the eastern perspective. Our primary goal is to summarize the motivations and challenges of using MOOCs, as well as to identify issues that haven't yet to be fully addressed or resolved. In this paper, we employed different methodologies that included the use of a questionnaire survey and activity data analysis. The results of this study may enhance our understanding of challenges of teaching and learning in MOOCs and help educators develop MOOCs with eastern insights. Index Terms-Eastern insights, human engagement, massive open online courses (MOOCs), motivations and challenges ofMOOCs.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate what factors influence learners' continuance intention in massive open online courses (MOOCs) for online collaborative learning. An extended expectation confirmation model (ECM) was adopted as the theoretical foundation. A total of 435 valid samples were collected in mainland China and structural equation model (SEM) approach was adopted. The descriptive statistics show that platforms from abroad, such as Coursera and Khan, are more popular than native ones in mainland China. The empirical results show that the effects of three ECM factors (satisfaction with prior learning experience, confirmation with prior learning experience, and perceived usefulness) are significant. Different factors have different predicting power. Knowledge outcome is the first powerful indicator of learners' continuance intention of MOOCs, followed by social influence, learners' satisfaction with prior learning experience, and performance proficiency. The effects of knowledge outcome, performance proficiency, and social influence are significant, showing the success of extended ECM.

“…And in the future, extra constructs to be measured of activity and intention of MOOCs might include self-efficacy, competence, user involvement, and user characteristics. Future research may need to recognize multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary can improve the scholarly understanding of MOOCs and lead to pragmatic suggestions to improve MOOCs teaching and learning through social, pedagogical or technological approaches [25][26].…”
