The use of Deep Learning techniques in E-Learning systems and MOOCs

E-Learning and Massive Open Online Courses are old techniques, but since the Coronavirus, they have become more popular again. Students already suffer from a lack of concentration and motivation in traditional courses; thus, this lack affects online courses. Furthermore, another important Online Learning systems problem is the difference between learners in terms of Learning Styles, abilities, social characteristics as well as preferences, background, and other psychological and mental features. Generally, these features are not taken into account by scientists. Therefore, Deep Learning techniques and Datasets have been used to improve E-Learning systems and MOOCs in several aspects such as: predicting dropout, Learning Styles and performance of online learners, and even their attention after taking an online course. In this work, we have studied and analyzed many recent works in the area of using Deep Learning techniques to improve Online Learning systems and MOOCs. This analysis shows what researchers rely on to improve E-Learning and MOOCs and demonstrates that research does not use the definition of the appropriate Learning Style frequently. However, the most used ones are dropout and performance of learners. In another hand, learners' attention is still gap.
