The aim of this study was to examine the effects of massive open online course(MOOC) learning based on self-directed learning and academic achievement of college students. For this study, twelve college students were chosen as participants. They were asked to take a MOOC, carry out team-based activities and fill in a self-reflection log of their learning over 15 weeks. The data consisted of shortened TOEIC practice tests(only 100 items) which were conducted at the beginning and end of the study period, self-directed learning ability questions, and students’ learning logs. The results of this study have been showed as follows; First, there was meaningful improvement in English academic achievement based on listening and reading comprehension scores. Second, there were positive changes in self-directed learning ability. Further studies are needed to examine the effects of MOOC learning over a longer period to boost self-directed learning ability with instructor feedback.
