A Longitudinal Study on Learner Career Advancement in MOOCs

In this paper, we present progress towards a longitudinal study of the post-course career advancement of MOOC learners. We present initial results and analysis plans for how to link this to in-course behavior, towards better understanding the goals of all MOOC learners.
