Why these three courses were selected?

35. San Jose State University and Udacity MOOCs Pilot Study Developmental math class: only 29% passed, versus 80% for in the face-to- face class College Algebra: 44% versus 74% passed in the face-to-face Algebra course Elementary Statistics: 51% students passed versus 74% in the same in- person, face-to-face Statistics course

36. What are the possible causes to contribute the lesser favorable result?

37. What was missing? Press release answer. A Course Design Strategy (Instructional Design).

38. Lessons Learned from Udacity & San Jose University. 1. Analyze learner and learner contexts. 2. Establish clear and concise assignment guidelines and expectations. 3. Establish upfront the channels and avenues of communication. Create instructor presence and a sense of community where students will be more likely to feel comfortable asking for help.
