Abstract

The Master's Thesis titled "Design and Development of an Online Course for Developing Good Study Skills for Undergraduate Students" with the title "Guide to Procedures and Registrations for New Undergraduate Students of the Department of Digital Systems at the University of Piraeus" aims at the design and development of a micro-MOOC, targeting the New Undergraduate Students of the Department of Digital Systems at the University of Piraeus. This micro-MOOC was created to assist students during the early stages of their studies, specifically in registrations, procedures, and their adaptation to the academic environment of the University of Piraeus. This micro-MOOC was implemented using the Open EdX platform, a widely recognized platform for online courses, and functions as a digital guide-mentor, providing clear and structured information on the most necessary registrations for students (those that ensure a smooth and good academic course for them), necessary procedures, the use of university electronic services, and access to support resources. Its content structure consists of short educational videos and interactive presentations, designed to be easily understandable and accessible to all students. This thesis examines the usefulness and effectiveness of the micro-MOOC as an educational tool for providing non-academic knowledge that can improve students' experience in their initial contact with the university and throughout their studies. Through the analysis of the functionality, usage, and educational design of the program, the benefits of digital education for non-academic subjects, such as administrative procedures, are highlighted, aiming at the smooth integration of students into university life. Part of the thesis also includes a review of the field, based on both Greek and international experience, and a comparative evaluation. The Educational Design of the online course, the technical implementation of the micro-MOOC, and its evaluation are analyzed. This thesis examines the potential of utilizing digital education to support students in non-academic matters as well as the effectiveness of MOOCs and micro-MOOCs as digital educational tools. At the same time, improvements are proposed to expand accessibility and increase the retention of students (or prevent dropout before completion), with the ultimate goal of continuously enhancing their student experience.
