The "Drivers of Quality in Online Learning" report outlines key strategies for enhancing learner engagement, satisfaction, skill development, and career outcomes in online education, particularly via Coursera's platform. Key insights for instructors include creating hands-on projects, using shorter videos to boost engagement, and providing assignments that allow learners to apply skills practically, like programming and peer-reviewed projects. Instructors are encouraged to design courses with clear learning objectives, especially at higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy, to meet job-relevant skills. The report also notes that in-browser programming, regular practice, forum participation, and selecting courses at appropriate difficulty levels can significantly improve learner success.
