“互联网+”时代开放大学云教室建设与应用研究

Cloud-based classrooms in the “Internet Plus” era:construction and application

"互联网+教育"时代的到来,MOOC在线教育的迅速发展,让国家开放大学办学面临前所未有的机遇与挑战。在国家开放大学的转型与发展中,信息化建设是基础。云教室是国家开放大学为了推动教育资源共建共享提出的一种新型远程教育资源传递模式,连续四年列入"教育信息化重点工作"中。目前,云教室建设已取得阶段性成果,在西部多个省份进行了部署和应用。本文分析了国家开放大学云教室的建设背景和需求,介绍了云教室系统设计方案,回顾了云教室建设历程,总结了建设成果和应用经验,提出了云教室建设中存在的问题和解决策略,以期为后续项目建设和各开放大学分部、地市学院及县级学习中心的信息化项目推进提供参考。

The coming of the'Internet Plus'era and the rapid development of MOOCs have confronted The Open University of China(OUC) with unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Strengthening IT capacity is fundamental in OUC's transformation and development, with cloud-based classrooms, the emerging delivery mode for open and distance education resources promoting co-production and sharing, listed strategically as one of the key tasks for four consecutive years. Cloud-based classrooms have, to date, been installed and put into use in some provincial Radio and TV Universities in Western China. This paper introduces the backgrounds and needs of the cloud-based classroom project, its design plan and implementation, initial achievements and experiences in application. It also analyzes outstanding issues in the implementation and suggests countermeasure strategies, aiming to be of relevance to follow-up IT capacity building projects at various levels of OUC branches.
