Abstract

In this research, we analyze a large number of discussions of forum messages from three MOOC courses using a keyword taxonomy approach to identify learning processes occurring among the students. We conduct analysis on more than 100,000 forum messages from 14,647 forum threads from three MOOCs, with a combined 200,000+ enrollment. We map messages to six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy for cognitive learning. The results of this research indicate that learning processes of particular cognitive learning levels could be observed within discussions on MOOC forums. Results imply that different types of forum communications have features associated to particular learning levels, and the volume of higher levels of cognitive learning domains increase as the course progresses.
