Investigating Interaction of Study Group Based Massive Open Online Courses

In the past few years, the rapid development of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) has attracted wide attention from the society, and the high dropout rate of learners has become one of the issues of wide concern[1]. A major limitation of the current generation of MOOCS is ignore the advantage for students to make use of study group as resource. In this paper, we have built MOOCROOM platform to extract data and find out the team activity that affect the interest of learners through survival analysis[2]. We valuate an intervention that makes more interactivity in MOOCROOM. From the impact of the biggest team activities to improve the teaching management and study group building to reducing the dropout rate. And this will be helpful for students to complete the study process. We discuss implications for design, limitations of the current study, and directions for future research.
