Abstract

The speed of growth and change of knowledge in engineering fields, has led to the need for new approaches. Connectivism theory has solved this problem by placing the learner at the center of learning and providing a new definition of learning. MOOCs have been a successful experience based on this theory. Recently, researchers have introduced hybrid MOOCs by combining the distributive property of xMOOCs and the network property of cMOOCs to earn diverse skills and presented positive results. In order to achieve the goal of the research, which is to identify the components of the personalized learning environment in engineering education with hybridMOOC technology, the components in cMOOCs and xMOOCs were investigated with the method of qualitative content analysis. For this purpose, 41 domestic and foreign researches were selected from the statistical population of related electronic researches by purposeful sampling method. Then, the data reached theoretical saturation by interviewing 7 experts in this field. Then, the data were qualitatively analyzed and the related themes of coding and the categories of self-learning, self-motivation, self-leadership, personalization, evaluation of communication, creation of strengthening and elimination of communication and social network platform were obtained in two groups of individual independence and networking.
