在线教育还能创造巨大的社会效益。MOOC巨头Coursera的创立者吴恩达日前在接受《财富》周刊采访时指出,在线课堂具有灵活性、实际性和需求主导性,他希望免费在线教育的发展,能帮助树立“优质教育是一项基本人权” 概念。
There's plenty of interest so far: Coursera has more than 80 universities and other institutions offering courses on its platform, broadcasting to millions of students. The top three MOOC-makers -- Coursera, Udacity, and EdX -- all appear on the cusp of convincing major institutions to offer some of their courses for credit. Cue many, many articles expressing deep angst that the traditional on-campus learning environment as we know it could cease to exist.
迄今为止,很多人都对大规模在线开放课程表现出了兴趣。Coursera的网络课程平台上已经有80多家大学和院校机构提供的课程,向数以百万的学生们开放。在线开放课程三大品牌——Coursera、Udacity和EdX,都极力推荐学校机构向他们的课程平台提供可计入学分的在线课程。也有许多文章都声称,我们所熟知的传统在校教育可以偃旗息鼓了。
But all that fretting may be premature: The MOOC business model seems to have a few issues of its own. Take, for example, a recent competition put on by Boston consultancy Fuld & Company, in which business school students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University, Dartmouth College, and Northwestern University staged a "war game" between the education world's power-players du jour. The winner of the $5,000 grand prize was the team that presented the best plan for the future of higher education, and the best strategy to make money from it. Coursera, despite being easily the sexiest company at the competition, did not take home the grand prize.
