Data of two MOOCs was used to illustrate MOOC-success from two perspectives and barriers encountered. Following the currently used approach to identify educational success, the success rate of MOOC-II was 5,6%. The success rates from the perspective of the MOOC-taker was 70%. In addition, data of MOOC-I and II showed that the encountered barriers were mainly non-MOOC-related. Workplace issues and lack of time were most frequently indicated. For MOOC-designers' decision making regarding redesign of a MOOC after evaluation, it is valuable to have insight in these matters to prevent unnecessary design interventions.}, year = {2017}, month = {05/2017}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, edition = {1}, volume = {10254}, pages = {210-216}, address = {Madrid}, country = {Spain}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-59044-8_25}, url = {https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-59044-8_25}, isbn = {978-3-319-59044-8}, refereed = {yes}, keywords = {barriers, behaviour, intention, MOOCs, online learning, success}, }
