Research output: Contribution to book or proceedingConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

It has been established that positive academic self-efficacy beliefs contribute to learner success. Self-efficacy is highly context dependent, and massive, open, online courses MOOCs are a new learning context for many leaners. Therefore, it is important to consider how the design of MOOCs can support the development of positive self-efficacy beliefs. In this paper the author considers typical elements included in MOOCs and how those elements may be designed to enhance learner self-efficacy.
