Beyond one-size-fits-all in MOOCs: Variation in learning design and persistence of learners in different cultural and socioeconomic contexts
作者：
Highlights：
• There is no ideal combination of coherent learning activities that work for ALL learners.
• Certain learning activity types facilitate progress for learners in one context while inhibiting another.
• Preference for video over text was strong in collectivists, particularly those from the South Asian region.
• Making MOOC a social learning space supported western learners from affluent economies.
• Overall data analysis can mask geo-cultural or socioeconomic heterogeneity in the link between learning design and outcome.
