Abstract

This paper introduces a new feature for instructors to communicate with their MOOC learners via SmartWatches in a different way to the traditional e-mails in order to try to avoiding procrastination. We have developed an Android Wear-based SmartWatches application designed for receiving notifications from MOOCs, and a specific section in Google Course Builder interface that allows instructors to configure and send the messages to each user registered in the course. We have evaluated the implementation of our proposal in an Introduction to Philosophy MOOC. The number and percentage of students who did assessments on time, together with their comments in a satisfaction questionnaire present very promising results.
