Abstract

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) offer valuable opportunities for freedom in learning; however, many learners face cognitive overload and conceptual and navigational disorientation. In this study, we used handouts to automatically build domain-specific knowledge maps for MOOCs. We considered handouts as conceptual models created by teachers, and we performed text mining to extract keywords from MOOC handouts. Each knowlege map is based on the structure of the handouts, each consisting of an outline, title, and content. The findings suggest that using handouts to build knowledge maps is feasible.
