大规模开放在线课堂

大规模开放在线课堂(课程),又称慕课(英语:Massive Open Online Course/MOOC)、磨课师(MOOCs)[1],是一种针对于大众人群的在线课堂,人们可以通过网络来学习在线课堂。MOOC是远程教育的最新发展,它通过开放教育资源的形式发展而来。[2]
MOOC的设计和课堂参与类似于学院和大学课堂,但MOOC一般不会像在校付费的学生那样要求学分。尽管如此,学习的奖励可能通过证书来证明。
MOOC起源于开放教育资源运动和学习连接主义的思潮。最近,大量MOOC类似的计划已经独立地浮出水面,例如Coursera, Udacity, edX和Marginal Revolution University [3];华文MOOC自2012年开始布局,至2014年较知名的MOOC网站包括MOOC学院、学堂在线、ewant育网、Share Course、Proera等。这些引人注目的计划的创始者投资机构和金融投资,帮助MOOC在2012年获取了显著的公众关注。[4]
MOOC没有完全既定的定义,但有两个显著的特点:
- Open access/开放共享:MOOC参与者不必是在校的注册学生,也不要求学费,它是让大家共享的。
- Scalability/可扩张性:许多传统课堂针对于一小群学生对应一位老师,但MOOC里的“大规模”课堂是针对于不确定的参与者而言来设计的。
早期MOOC的其它特点,例如内容的开放授权,开放结构和学习目标,以社群为中心等的特点,它们也不是在所有MOOC计划里都出现。[5]
学分和学位化
[编辑]部分大学通过edX平台进行的MOOC,例如微硕士(MicroMasters)和可兑换学分课程(Credit-Eligible) 在修读完在线课程后,可衔接升读相关大学的学位课程。然而,这些在线课程并非免费,部分更索价逾千美元。[6][7]
