Symposium MOOCresearch2.0

ilc | Louvain-la-Neuve, Mons

Student interactions for promoting learning in online educational platforms: a multidisciplinary perspective on discussion forums

25 May, 2023 - Louvain-la-neuve, Belgium

The MOOCresearch2.0 team organized a symposium to present the main results of the MOOCresearch2.0 project. This five-year project, funded by theCollective Research Initiative (ARC, 2019-2024), sought to address the challenges of fostering social interactions and socio-cognitive conflicts to promote learning in an online learning platform. Through a multidisciplinary perspective, we investigated the presence and unfolding of socio-cognitive conflicts in the forums of massive open online courses (MOOCs) developed by LouvainX on the edX platform.

The day was structured around several team presentations and 2 invited lectures by:  

  • Carlos Alario-Hoyos (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain), Automatic grading of MOOC learners from their contributions in the discussion forum 
  • Freydis Vogel (University of Hamburg, Germany), Social activities in online learning: The benefits of transactive exchange.
