Abstract

The popularity of Massive Open Online Courses has been rapidly growing recently. However, the completion rates of MOOC appear to be quite low. Moreover, the learning quality is quite doubtful for administrators of Universities since there is no suitable tools to evaluate it. Benefitting from the online environment, MOOC platforms can collect and store a huge amount of data related to learning processes. We use Storm as the parallel computing tool to accomplish the data analysis of MOOC. Our research focuses on three types of learning quality evaluation: relationship between students’ forum participation and their academic performance, relationship between students’ forum emotion and their academic performance, relationship between students’ video seeking operation and their academic performance.
