Abstract

In 2017, the SWU-MOOC project began from the collaboration between Srinakharinwirot University and Thai cyber University project to developing 10 courses on innovation and technology. There are over 3,000 enrolled students, with more than 40% of students completing the course. This research aimed at analyzing characteristics and learning behavior of active learners on SWU-MOOC. The sample involved 773 active learners who filled the questionnaires after completing the course. The data was analyzed using percentage. The findings were as follow: (1) most of the active learners' characteristics in gender ranged from 64.94% for female students, Occupation ranged from 63.26% for University students, and age ranged from 60.28% for 18-24 years. (2) Learning behavior in terms of frequency in attending SWU-MOOC took 2-3 times per week (42.82%) and in terms of length of study per time, 30-60 minutes (25.61%) of spent time had the highest percentage.
