Tiivistelmä
Massive Open Online Courses have been in the center of attention in the recent years.
However, the main problem of all online learning environments is their lack of
personalization according to the learners’ knowledge, learning styles and other learning
preferences. This research explores the parameters and features used for personalization in the literature and based on them, evaluates to see how well the current MOOC platforms
have been personalized. Then, proposes a design framework for personalization of MOOC platforms that fulfills most of the personalization parameters in the literature including the learning style as well as personalization features. The result of an assessment made for the proposed design framework shows that the framework well supports personalization of MOOCs.
