INTRODUCTIONMOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) often attract a diverse set of learners with a variety of needsand goals [1]. This diverse learner base provides an opportunity to learn about how and if learnergoals vary by examining MOOC data. An understanding of these data can inform the design of futurelearning opportunities in engineering education and other fields. One way to identify these learnerneeds and goals is through MOOC pre-course surveys. However, because of the potentially vastnumber of learners in a MOOC, finding meaningful ways to utilize this survey data is challenging. Ifthere exist a diverse set of

Many of these references, however, do little actual flexible assessment. Theliterature does list many viable flexible assessment approaches, which we divide into threecategories based on where the flexibility lies: 1) how are assessments weighted, 2) what are theassessments, and 3) when the assessments occur. Our current approach is a combination of thefirst and third items. We believe our approach to flexible assessment is unique for severalreasons, including the course format (engineering design), the classroom format (studio), and thedelivery method (primarily flipped).We feel our approach has
