This study adapts Randy Garrison's Self-Directed learning (SDL) model to analyze the responses of 470 MOOC students (a tiny franction of the overall enrollment) to questions about self-monitoring and self-management during the course. Therefore, these results should be taken as a generalization only in the context of multiple studies of the same design. That said, the authors found "In the current study, self-monitoring and self-management did not influence the adoption of learning strategies," which may (in my view) be explained in terms of the direction offered by the MOOC itself.
