Crues, R. Wes; Henricks, Genevieve M.; Perry, Michelle; Bhat, Suma; Anderson, Carolyn J.; Shaik, Najmuddin; Angrave, Lawrence – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)--in part, because of their free, flexible, and relatively anonymous nature--may provide a means for helping overcome the large gender gap in Computer Science (CS). This study examines why women and men chose to enroll in a CS MOOC and how this is related to successful behavior in the course by (a) using k-means…
