Results: Our analysis identified six types of Kirkpatrick outcomes in $17$ studies. Five of these outcomes $($learning$/$general knowledge, skills, attitudes, confidence, and commitment$)$ fit into Kirkpatrick Level $2,$ while Kirkpatrick Level $3$ outcomes concerning behavior$/$application were seen in four studies. Two additional themes were identified outside of the Kirkpatrick framework: culture and identily outcomes and affective$/$emotional outcomes. Kirkpatrick Level $4$ was not represented among the outcomes we examined.

Conclusions: Our findings point to some gains from MOOCs. While we can expect MOOCs to persist, how leamers benefit from the experience of pay

For this assignment, download and read the open$-$access research article "Benefits of Massive Open Online Course Participation: Deductive Thematic Analysis." In this article, the authors analyzed $17$ previous research studies to determine aggregate deductive findings gleaned from the $17$ earlier studies. Analyze one of the two deductive conclusion statements the authors made in the Conclusion section of the article Abstract $($see Figure$).$ Using the Conclusion sentence you have selected, prepare a syllogism that concludes with the Conclusion sentence you have selected $(1$ or $2).$ Then, review the Results section of the article Abstract and identify $2-3$ premises that are stated in the Results section which led to the Conclusion statement you have selected. Prepare your choices in the following syllogism format at the top of your analysis document:
