MOOC是“大规模开放式在线课程”的英文首字母缩写,意指可以在全球各地通过互联网访问的课程。拜其灵活性所赐,广大学子都对它垂涎三尺。
It can be hard to describe what a MOOC is. To paraphrase Justice Potter Stewart, you "know it when you see it." Most MOOCs rely on set start and end dates, though a few are self-paced. They can be scaled to accommodate tens-of-thousands or just a select community. Occasionally, students can earn grades and college credit through MOOCs. Mostly, though, students receive a certificate of completion.
很难用言语来描述MOOC究竟是什么模样。套用大法官波特•斯图尔特的话说就是,“看到它时,你就知道了。”大多数MOOC依靠设置好的开始和结束日期,但也有少数由学生自定进程。它容纳学生的规模既可扩展至数万名,也可以是一个条件苛刻的小规模社区。学生们偶尔可以通过MOOC获得成绩和大学学分,但在大多数情况下,他们最终会收到一张结业证书。
Tests can be proctored, but many MOOCs rely on the honor system. Textbooks are often optional (though some courses come with eBooks and downloadable software). Although professors deliver content through videos and PowerPoint in MOOCs, many engage with students on message boards in realtime (and even keep office hours for online students). Although MOOCs are grounded in distance education, many students form regionally based online communities.
