Student engagement in Higher Education is a challenge for most institutions, not only in the UK but in Europe and internationally. One of the reasons that students perform better and are more engaged is when they feel motivated, confident and challenged by their studies, and are rewarded by success. This could be achieved through the raising of aspirations for core study via the successful completion of a short MOOC from a well-known institution. The positive emotional effect of studying within a diverse global community of learners and the value of the ensuing course completion could potentially boost student success on their core courses.
