Democratisation of education through MOOCs and the main characteristics of MOOC learners in specific demographics (Arab world, India and Africa).<\/p>\n<p>2. Motivation theories and learning analytics.<\/p>\n<p>Following literature reviews, we will design and conduct questionnaires and\/or semi-structured interviews. The resulting data will be used to present a final report about motivation of MOOC learners.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOOCivations blog will report the progress of the research being conducted during the summer of 2013, by two Learning Design Interns at the Centre for&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77264,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-22","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/moocivations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/moocivations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/moocivations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/moocivations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77264"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/moocivations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/moocivations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":182,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/moocivations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22\/revisions\/182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/moocivations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
