Abstract
The virtual classrooms of open online courses include students from a vast array of individual, social, economic, and educational contexts. Detailed data were collected for the first course MIT ran on the edX platform, including student behavior, performance, and background information. In this paper, we estimate the systematic differences in average performance, distribution of performance, and performance conditional on behaviors for countries with different characteristics (e.g., language, income).
