This study reports on a survey with 540 responses from students at Delft University taking courses on the EdX platform in English. A list of 44 potential barriers, identified in a previous literature review, was used. The results were presented in a dashboard (pictured). The big issues were 'lack of time' along with motivational factors. Unsurprisingly, university students preferred to learn in person and (to my observation) lacked the skill and inclination to manage their own learning.
