Full Text(PDF, 434KB)

Author: Lin Qiao, Juan He

Abstract: As a way of education process reengineering, massive open online courses increase efficiencies in knowledge dissemination and knowledge creation enormously due to the characteristics of openness, massiveness, accessibility and frugalness, and represent the onward direction of the profound amalgamation of technology and education. Massive open online courses make subversive changes in education with a higher degree of probability, which have vast importance to promote equality in education. This paper indicates that massive open online courses is an important supplement to traditional modes of instruction, an impactful method of enhancing the quality of citizens, and an effective approach to lifelong learning for citizens. However, during the practice of massive open online courses, some teaching problems, such as heavier burden of teaching and lower quality of teaching, must be solved. Meanwhile, potential intellectual property issues should be also taken into account in running massive open online courses.
