大规模开放在线课堂( 英语:massive open online course /MOOC)是一种针对于大众人群的在线课堂,人们可以通过网络来学习在线课堂。MOOC是远程教育的最新发展,它是一种通过开放教育资源形式而发展来的。
MOOC的设计和课堂参与类似于学院和大学课堂,但MOOC一般不会像在校付费的学生那样要求学分。尽管如此,学习的奖励可能通过证书来证明。
MOOC起源于开放教育资源运动和学习连接主义的思潮。最近,大量MOOC类似的计划已经独立地浮出水面,例如Coursera, Udacity, edX和Marginal Revolution University。
MOOC没有完全既定的定义,但有两个显著的特点:
- Open access/开放共享. MOOC参与者不必是在校的注册学生,也不要求学费。它是让大家共享的。
- Scalability/可扩张性. 许多传统课堂针对于一小群学生对应一位老师,但MOOC里的“大规模”课堂是针对于不确定的参与者而言来设计的。
早期MOOC的其它特点,例如内容的开放授权,开放结构和学习目标,以社群为中心等的特点。它们也不是在所有MOOC计划里都出现。
