Evidence¶

Gallego-Romero 2020¶

Gallego-Romero, J.M., Alario-Hoyos, C., Estévez-Ayres, I. et al. (2020). Analyzing learners' engagement and behavior in MOOCs on programming with the Codeboard IDE. Education Tech Research Dev 68, 2505–2528 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-020-09773-6

q2 · i? · associational · r1

t-test over 1,036 work sessions (820 anonymous, 216 registered) from Codeboard activity logs in three Java MOOCs, with normality and Levene's variance checks. The article reports means of 6.35 vs 4.57 actions per session, t=-3.78, p=0.0001 (Table 3).

"Interestingly, registered learners performed 6.35 actions per session on average, while anonymous learners performed only 4.57 actions, with a significant difference."

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Same session-level t-test analysis of Codeboard logs. The article reports mean session time of 250.88 seconds for registered versus 148.58 seconds for anonymous learners, t=-3.95, p<0.0001 (Table 3).

"The data collected also shows that registered learners spent more time per session than anonymous learners: 250.88 seconds for registered learners versus 148.58 seconds for anonymous learners, also with a significant difference."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• When comparing only sessions in which the base code was actually modified, there are no significant differences between anonymous and registered learners in actions or time per session — related
• Registered learners have a higher ratio of compilation errors to total compilations, consistent with deeper code modification — related
• Registered learners modify the teacher-provided base code more than anonymous learners, both in share of sessions and in Levenshtein distance — related
• Registered learners in programming MOOCs using Codeboard show greater engagement than anonymous learners, compiling and executing code more times per access — related
