考试可以在监督下进行,但许多MOOC依靠信用制度。教科书往往是非强制性的(虽然一些课程配备了电子图书和供下载的软件)。尽管MOOC的教授主要通过视频和PPT文件授课,但许多教授也在留言板上跟学生实时互动,甚至还为在线学生专门留出了一部分上班时间。尽管MOOC以远程教育为基础,但许多学生组成了以地区为基础的在线社区。
Still, there is one characteristic that marks all MOOCs: They are available to anyone. And that's why they're booming. Sure, many MOOCs are free. But they're also drawing millions of students, potential future customers for universities. That's why platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udacity are partnering with schools to house content. For example, edX started as a consortium between Harvard and MIT -- and has since added the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Texas to its membership (along with recently joining forces with Google (GOOG)). Coursera was launched by Stanford professors and offers courses from the likes of Wharton, Columbia, and Yale.
不过,所有MOOC都具备一个显著特征:面向所有人。这正是它们如此红火的原因所在。诚然,许多MOOC都是免费的,但它们正在吸引数以百万计的学生,这些学生恰恰是高等院校未来的潜在客户。这就是为什么课程时代( Coursera)、edX和Udacity等平台正在与大学开展内容合作。比如,edX最初与哈佛大学(Harvard)和麻省理工学院(MIT)结盟,后来又增加了加州大学伯克利分校(University of California at Berkeley)和德克萨斯大学(University of Texas),谷歌公司(Google)最近也加入了这个联盟。课程时代由斯坦福大学(Stanford)的教授发起,提供来自沃顿、哥伦比亚(Columbia)和耶鲁(Yale)等大学的课程。
