• ITMO Researchers Seek to Improve MOOC Effectiveness

  The concept of MOOC has turned five years old in 2016. In that time 50 million people had successfully completed educational online courses. But the core problem still remains – the low outcome numbers (out of all participants who register for a course, only less than 10 % complete it). What is the reason for this and how can it be solved? ITMO University’s researchers Lyubov Lisitsyna and Evgeniy Efimchik had come up with their own approach to online courses that should increase their efficiency. This June, their paper “Making MOOCs More Effective and Adaptive on Basis of SAT and Game Mechanics” was granted the Best Conference Paper award at the 4th International Conference “Smart Education and e-Learning (SEEL-2017)” that took place in Vilamoura, Portugal. We talked to Lyubov Lisitsyna, head of ITMO University’s Department of Computer Educational Technologies about her research and its success with the conference’s experts.
