Abstract

With the rapid development of the Internet and multimedia, online courses have become one of the main ways for students to learn. Online course reviews are the comments the learners or students published voluntarily based on their real learning experience of a course, which include diverse information. This paper selects the statistics-related courses in the MOOC platform as the research object and obtains online reviews of seven courses, then employs natural language processing techniques to deal with the review data and further develops a method for online course evaluation. First, the continuous bag-of-words model is used to extract the feature words of courses from the online course reviews. Secondly, based on mutual information and semantic similarity analysis, this paper identifies and clusters the learners’ preferences for online courses, the preferences include six aspects. Finally, we compute the value and weight of each aspect of preference according to the sentiment propensity and the occurrence frequency of preference words, respectively. Then the overall score of each course is calculated using the above values. Based on the results, we proposed suggestions and enlightenments for the online course development and improvement.
