Abstract
Nowadays, the implementation of Sino-foreign cooperative education program has become an essential way to internationalize Chinese higher education.The large number of MOOC online resources currently available, and their innovative teaching modes has provided a new and novel channel to promote such programs. In order to systematically illustrate and reveal the effectiveness of utilizing MOOC in these projects, which sponsored by Undergraduate cooperative education project of visual communication design between Anhui Polytechnic University and University of Bridgeport, researchers carried out a one-year targeted and systematic tracking, investigation, comparative analysis, consultation, summary and the real-time assessment. Experimental data and detailed research results show that the MOOC intervention mechanism achieved a positive effect in promoting and supplementing students’ knowledge and understanding of their major. It not only strengthened students’ skills and literacy, it was also found to significantly promote traditional classroom teaching at Anhui Polytechnic University. The project proved successful with design students by combining in class and online teaching. It is recommended that such projects be further promoted and applied in the future.
Highlights
Until September 2014 Chinese official statistics show that "Sino-foreign cooperation university programs have reached the number of 2056
This paper hopes to provide inspiration and reference for other Sino-foreign cooperation university programs in China, and to popularize this successful case which is based on massive open online course (MOOC) online and offline mixed teaching model and students’ cultivation model
MOOCs provide a new opportunity to enhance the effective implementation of Sino-foreign cooperation university programs
Summary
“A MOOC (massive open online course) is an online course with the option of free and open registration, a publicly shared curriculum, and open-ended outcome.”[1]. It is hoped to unite traditional design skills with the modern digital media technology To achieve this goal, Anhui Polytechnic University utilizes this Sino-foreign cooperation university program as an experimental item which exploratively draws domestic and foreign MOOCs into the whole students’ development scheme, so as to advocate and encourage teachers and students to actively participate in and construct MOOCs auxiliary teaching system. Anhui Polytechnic University utilizes this Sino-foreign cooperation university program as an experimental item which exploratively draws domestic and foreign MOOCs into the whole students’ development scheme, so as to advocate and encourage teachers and students to actively participate in and construct MOOCs auxiliary teaching system During this one-year experiment, researchers have applied earlyterm guide, mid-term evaluation and late-term summary real-time model to track, inquire, and assess the effectiveness of MOOCS intervention mechanism. This paper hopes to provide inspiration and reference for other Sino-foreign cooperation university programs in China, and to popularize this successful case which is based on MOOCs online and offline mixed teaching model and students’ cultivation model
