Sentiment Analysis on Embedded Systems Blended Courses

Abstract

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been producing an electrified feeling in the academic circles since 2012. This was amplified once profit initiatives like Coursera and Udacity joined their forces with renowned universities like Stanford, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This paper presents a modality of integrating Embedded Systems MOOCs into blended courses, but at the same time it provides an evaluation of this approach: the sentiment analysis technique. Such an evaluation not only reveals the polarity, but also valuable insights into improving the course content and integration of MOOCs into the intricacies of teaching embedded systems.
