That's the question... On MOOC-success, barriers and their implications %U https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-59044-8_25 %V 10254 %X This explorative study aimed to get an understanding of MOOC-success as seen from the perspective of the MOOC-taker and the types of barriers which might stand in the way of this success. 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. %7 1 %8 05/2017 %@ 978-3-319-59044-8 %* yes
