The advent of MOOCs has increasingly changed the learners' learning strategy and behavior, which brings new issues for analyzing learners' behavior and evaluating the learning effect. Investigation on the learners' learning behavior and evaluation of the learning effect can provide learners' learning strategy selection in the topic of MOOCs. In this paper, three teaching modes i.e., pure MOOCs, flipped classroom and traditional classroom are developed to investigate the learners' learning behavior and the learning effect. The influence of MOOCs environment on learners learning behaviors is investigated, and then the characteristics of learners' learning behaviors are analyzed. Moreover, the influence of three modes on the learning effect of learners is studied, and the effect of different subjects in different modes is evaluated. Furthermore, the learners' satisfaction degree on MOOCs mode is investigated using a questionnaire survey. The empirical results show that the teaching mode of pure MOOCs and flipped classroom is better than that of the traditional teaching mode, and the learning effect of science learners in MOOCs mode is better than both the liberal arts and art learners. © 2016 IEEE.
