1、MOOCs何以支持高等教育和终身学习 访国际在线学习专家特里安德森 教授王志军苏珊江南大学教育信息化研究中心摘要:MOOCs 一词提出至今已有十年。从2007年的小范围教育技术研究者的研究与实 践,到国际MOOCs元年(2012年)后在国际范围内的广泛传播与研究,MOOCs 让在线教育重新走进了大众的视野。过去五年中,因MOOCs引发的教育(尤其是 高等教育)批判和变革达到了前所未有的激烈。同时,对MOOCs变革教育的高度 期待,与MOOCs不足一提的深刻批判也一直相伴相生,各种学术名词不断涌现。 今H,人们对MOOCs的热情似乎已经退却。那么,当前MOOCs的发展状况究竟是 怎样的,究竞什么
2、是MOOCs,其快速发展的动因是什么?它乂是如何支持高等教 育和终身学习的?如何对其进行评价?它未来又将呈现怎样的发展趋势?为了找到 这些问题的答案,笔者站在MOOCs支持高等教育和终身注习的角度,访谈了国 际著名的在线学习专家一一加拿大阿萨巴斯卡大学特里安德森教授。他结合国 际MOOCs近年的发展实际和研究,以事实和数据为基础,对这些问题进行了阐 述。特里安德森教授指tB:MOOCs类型多样且不断发展,其概念也在演变,“大 规模、开放、在线和课程”为其基本特征。MOOCs的媒体关注度虽然降低了很多, 但是其学习者数量一直在持续上升。政府、高校、企业、学习者各白的利益诉求 推动着MOOCs的发
3、展。当前,MOOCs已经对高等教育和学习者的职业发展产生了 多样化影响。在MOOCs的学分认证与学习评价中,微学位是MOOCs学分认证的重 要方式。同时,学习评价中,MOOCs监考的重点在于确定参加考核的是学习者本 人,且利用技术进行实吋监控。MOOCs的本质是一种在线课程,传统在线课程的 评价标准可以对其进行评价。MOOCs免费、交互的开展需要教师团队做很多额外 工作,大多数MOOCs在学生交互和参与以及学习者支持方而做得并不好。未来MOOCs的设计需要从结构、社会存在和交互、讨论促进工具、发布和促进机制四 个方面加以完善。关键词:高等教育;终身学习;MOOCs;远程教育;在线学习; 作者简
