DCU team wins ‘Best Research Paper Award’ at international conference

Congratulations to DCU’s Mairéad Nic Giolla Mhichíl, Elaine Beirne and Conchúr MacLochlainn, who yesterday won the ‘Best Research Paper Award’ at the EDEN Research Conference in Barcelona.

Their paper on 'Moody MOOCs: An Exploration of Emotion in an LMOOC', was singled out for its originally, unique methodological design and investigation of a relatively new area of research in the area of online learning.

The accolade is one of the most prestigious research awards in this field in Europe.

The conference saw six DCU doctoral students presenting their research at the Doctoral Symposium on Wednesday and five other presentations from NIDL staff yesterday.

Well done to everyone who contributed to this important research conference.
