Three databases were selectedfor this project: Education Source, ERIC, and Scopus. Education Source and ERIC aredatabases that contain sources related to education. These databases were selected toalign with the goal of the project to look into literature which is focused on engineeringmassive open online courses and their role in student learning, participation, andengagement. The final database, Scopus, is the largest source of peer-reviewed literature.Such a broad reach is important to address the overarching research goal because of thefield-spanning
