An artful view of MOOCs forum exchanges across the world

Emma Lejal-Glaude, a student working at the CEDE for her semester project, developed a smooth visualisation of student interactions in EPFL MOOC forums. We can see the average pattern of interactions over a 24h period in the entire world (in both French and English language), as well as inwards and outwards of Lausanne. The visualisation nicely captures the vibrant engagement of the international MOOCs community in our home-made courses, as they answer to each others’ posts and comments, illustrating in an artful way the success of the EPFL MOOC initiative.
