3/14/2019A Mixed Methods Look at Motivation and Career Development of MOOC Instructors
During the past decade, MOOCs have provided individuals with unprecedented learning opportunities. In order for MOOCs to find success in different educational sectors, a better understanding of the motivational and career development elements related to MOOC instructors is essential. This study examined the motivation and career development of MOOC instructors using a mixed-methods approach. A total of 142 participants completed the online survey and six MOOC instructors participated in in-depth interviews. From the research findings, motivation of MOOC instructors was categorized into five key components: (1) interest in new technology, (2) service to the public and community, (3) interest in the subject matter, (4) institutional interest, and (5) personal interest. Meanwhile, the primary frustrations that MOOC instructors encountered included a lack of interaction and asynchronous communication with students and time for creating MOOCs. At the same time, many MOOC instructors perceived that MOOC teaching positively influenced their professional development. The research findings also demonstrated that most MOOC instructors learned how to teach MOOCs informally and personally without professional development opportunities. Nevertheless, they made efforts to help other MOOC instructors. Finally, this study pointed to the strong need for professional development of MOOC instructors in developing MOOCs and its effective implementation.
