The learners who participate in the MOOC are classified by using of AHC and K-means
based on learners’ learning behavior on MOOCs platform. Then
the impact of different learning behaviors on the MOOC’s learning outcomes are studied and analyzed
and the course completion rate and course grade of different types of learners are compared and analyzed in detail by Chi-square test and one-way ANOVA. Finally
suggestions about how to improve the MOOCs learning effect and the design of the structure and content of MOOCs curricula are given. It also provides the reference for the further development of MOOCs education in colleges and universities.
