基于SPOC的传统课程与MOOC转换的应用与研究

Research of recasting a Traditional Course into a MOOC by Means of a SPOC

本文主要讨论将现有高校里的常规课程转换成慕课(MOOC)的成熟而实用的方法。主要分为两个阶段,第一步将现有课程转换成小规模限制性在线课程SPOC(Small Private Online Course)和常规授课方式两种授课途径,这一步与课程教学同步进行的;第二步在一个学期后进行,类似慕课一样向外界开放。首先,将常规课程的一部分内容设计成SPOC模式,然后要减少转换的工作量,在教学过程将可以覆盖常规课程部分内容的SPOC逐步完成,最后,因为转换需要大量的工作,慕课(MOOC)中可能出现的风险将会在SPOC中大幅降低。

We give a practical approach to recast an existing,mature traditional university course into a MOOC. The approach has two steps. The first step consists in transforming the existing course into a course with two tracks：a SPOC and a traditional track. This step is done concurrently with teaching the course. The second step,which takes place one semester later,is the opening of the SPOC to the world as a MOOC. First,it allows to design a SPOC covering only part of the material of the traditional course. Second,the workload of the transformation is reduced. It can be done incrementally during the teaching of the traditional course. Third,it allows us to gain experience in the world of MOOCs in a relative painless manner. And fourth,since the transformation is a large step,the risk of having problems in the final MOOC is reduced.
