Abstract

The rapid growth of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) has led to a rapid increase in the volume and variety of information. Big data has beginning to demonstrate its value in distance learning. The content in this paper is organized into five sections. The first section presents the problems encountered with MOOC. The second section introduces the concept of machine learning and the classification of learning methods. The third section presents the concept of deep learning related to learning behaviors in MOOC; Part 4, how to apply deep learning to predict learning outcomes based on learner behavior; and Part 5, the conclusions.
