Abstract
Study in a Massive Open and Online Courses (MOOCs) is challenging, since participants take the course without the support of a teacher. Taking a MOOC require the students to have the ability to self-regulate their learning. However, every person has its own learning style and the way each one interacts and self-regulate in a MOOC varies. In this work we present an exploratory study from a process-oriented perspective to study whether students with different learning styles and SRL profiles show differences in navigating through a MOOC. Specifically, we investigate using Process Mining Techniques to analyze log files recording the course behavior of 99 learners across an Open edX MOOC combined with data from self-reported surveys. Our findings show that learners with different SRL profiles follow similar navigation paths, but there are differences when differentiating students by their learning styles.
