Three Major Factors

Learning Activities

28. Content
• Arouse Learner’s Interest (Cooking Class, Tennis Class,
Orchid Plan+ng)

32. Learning Media (Con>nued)
• compact, bite-sized, easy to understand, and entertaining
• Most of the learners report that they like New Media. This
means that they like to learn both from the instructors in the
video and also the incorporated video, graphics, anima+ons
e x p l a i n i n g t h e c o n t e n t a t t h e s a m e + m e .
• The length of the video should be around 5 minutes’ long
(and not longer than 10).
• The content should be well- designed, interes+ng and fun to
learn. . If instructors are shown in the video, he/she needs to
create friendly (relaxed alertness) environment. For instance,
they should smile and use effec+ve presenta+on techniques
to explain the content clearly.

Preference for MOOC
Learners said that they could review the
content as many times as they wish, the
content was practical and they could
apply what they learned to their future
works, the content is easy to understand
and offer many examples, was designed
in such a way that helped them
understand the content better and the
content matched their interest etc.
