Participants’ performance is one of the critical factors for the success of the platforms. There is a
lot of data in MOOC platforms that are free and open to everyone, and due to this large amount of educational
data, it is difficult to make accurate predictions and inferences. The primary purpose of this research is to
conduct a literature review to discover the existing Educational Data Mining methods and techniques used
to analyze Massive Open Online Course data. For this purpose, the focus is on the source from which the
data is collected, which EVM methods and techniques are used, and which tools are used in the analysis to
compare different approaches. A total of 32 articles published between 2013-2024 were included in the scope
of the study. According to the findings, there are many algorithms used for EVM methods and techniques in
the analysis of MOOC data. The most preferred algorithm in the studies is “K-Means”, followed by “Support
Vector Machines”, “Decision Trees” and “Random Forest”. Coursera and Edx are among the platforms used
and preferred worldwide. It is anticipated that making the data available on these platforms public will
contribute to further research and guide studies in the education field. Privacy and ethics also come to the
fore within the scope of open data publication. In this context, developing some standards and new approaches
to share data with researchers in a standard form that does not include privacy violations will significantly
contribute to studies conducted in this field.
