User Experience in MOOC Art Courses: A Case Study at Open University Malaysia
Get PDFIn the conventional way of teaching art, which is a skills-based, subject areas are
usually delivered through face-to-face teaching in the studio setting. The
advancement of technology, through the existence of online learning platforms
such as learning management systems and the Massive Open Online Course
systems, has benefitted many educators in delivering their courses due to the
flexibility and personalised learning environment provided by most of the online
learning platforms. Regardless of all the constraints, especially in its reliability in
demonstrating the learner’s competency level, art subjects can also be delivered
through online learning. This study intends to observe the users’ experience in
performing the tasks on the course page in an art course at Open University
Malaysia delivered through the massive open online course platform at
openlearning.com. It also aims to observe the behaviour of the 616 participants in
the course. The course has been conducted since October 2014. The study will
report on the user experience based on the observation of the number of views on
the course page and average time spent per second on the page. Both the number
of views and average time spent per second are measured through the split (A/B)
testing method to measure how those two groups perform, categorised according
to the content. [ABSTRACT BY AUTHOR

Malaysia commercial banking. It was also exposed that satisfaction partially mediates the relationship
between service quality and trust. In future, more research needs to be carried out to explore the role of
satisfaction in Malaysia banking industry. It is important to do the study utilizing experimental design
by capturing longitudinal data in Malaysia banking industry using robust measures. The findings
suggest that the relationship between satisfaction and profitability may reside in satisfaction’s influence

MOOCs in Malaysia: a preliminary case study
Get PDFMassive open online courses (MOOCs) in Malaysia are a very recent development. At the time of writing of this case study, there are only six higher education institutions that have embarked on a MOOCs initiative. The first Malaysian higher education institution announced its pilot MOOC offering in March 2013. In 2014, five more higher education institutions – four of them
public universities and one, i.e. Open University Malaysia (OUM), a private open and distance learning (ODL) institution – began offering MOOCs on two different platforms. At the moment,
these initiatives represent a preliminary phase in MOOCs, where Malaysia’s approach can be described as exploratory, focusing less on reaching the widest possible audience, making a significant mark globally or competing with established providers like Coursera, edX and Udacity, but more on learning to use web-based technology to complement current educational delivery systems at the higher education level and introducing MOOCs to the general Malaysian audience.
