Gender Differences in MOOC participation - forum participation
(Direct excerpt) For a more thorough analysis, we again computed Pearson standardized residuals for Table 4. We found the residuals were greater than four for men and women in both the views and posts levels of participation. That is, the number of women and men we expected to view or post in the forum when using the χ2 test of independence was quite different from the number of men and women we observed who viewed or posted in the forum. Specifically, for women, we observed more women viewing the forum than we expected, but less women posted in the forum. The reverse was true for men: More men than expected posted to the forum, but less men than expected viewed the forum.
