Summary
Learners value organized, detailed, and practical videos in massive open online courses (MOOCs). Helpful resources include slides and assessments, with video duration being a key production feature.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Online Learning
Background:
- Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) heavily rely on instructional videos.
- Existing research on learner preferences for MOOC videos is limited in scope and methodology.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify key characteristics of favorable MOOC videos.
- To determine helpful supplemental resources for MOOC video engagement.
- To understand valued video production features.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 4534 learner reviews from 14 MOOC categories.
- Utilized a multiple-coder research methodology.
Main Results:
- Top characteristics: organized, detailed, comprehensible, interesting, practical.
- Helpful resources: presentation slides, reading materials, post-video assessments, embedded questions, case studies.
- Key production feature: video duration.
Conclusions:
- Findings inform MOOC video design and best practices.
- Highlights the importance of content organization, detail, and practical application.
- Suggests future research into optimizing video elements for online learning.

01:22Purposive Learning
174
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

01:12Observational Learning
250
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

01:18Introduction to Learning
488
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
1.8K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

01:24Effects of feedback
631
Feedback in control systems plays a critical role in shaping various operational parameters, extending beyond simple error reduction to influence stability, bandwidth, gain, impedance, and sensitivity. Understanding these effects requires examining a basic feedback system characterized by defined input, output, error, and feedback signals.
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...
