An Investigation on Optimal Text Length for MOOCs

This study by Tiffany Wong and Meghan Morrissey explores the impact of text length in MOOCs, emphasizing the importance of readings in humanity courses. With limited research on how text length affects online learning, the authors designed an experimental study to investigate this relationship. Surprisingly, results indicated no significant difference in certification rates, assessment scores, or comprehension question accuracy between varying text lengths. The study concludes by recommending further research for replication and the potential for collaborative efforts to deepen understanding in this area.
