Abstract

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is an important tool to improve the au-tonomous learning of students and the teaching effects of the courses. Focusing on the online teaching of college English courses, this paper proposes a simple design of blended English teaching mode for the requirements of MOOC plat-form. Using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework and the Java pro-gramming language, the author realized the database-related functions of the plat-form by SQL server database, designed the backend server on the Spring and Hibernate integrated frameworks, and developed the entire platform using the browser/server (B/S) structure. The platform test results show that the MOOC-based blended English teaching mode satisfies the teaching demands, achieves stable performance, and wins the recognition of most students. The research find-ings shed new light on the innovation of college English teaching.

Highlights

  • Under the background of global informationization, education informatization has become one of the main-streams of society

  • Domestic and foreign scholars have analyzed the theory, origin and development of Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), MOOC-based blended teaching mode, the differences between MOOC and traditional teaching methods, and its characteristics, etc., they discussed how MOOC serves the society and what impact does it bring to the education, and they have achieved a lot of research results [2]

  • The MOOC platform for Chinese universities icourse163 launched by Netease cloud classroom is the most resourceful platform independently developed in the country, its system features are quite similar to Coursera [4]

Summary

Introduction

Under the background of global informationization, education informatization has become one of the main-streams of society. Domestic and foreign scholars have analyzed the theory, origin and development of MOOC, MOOC-based blended teaching mode, the differences between MOOC and traditional teaching methods, and its characteristics, etc., they discussed how MOOC serves the society and what impact does it bring to the education, and they have achieved a lot of research results [2]. The design, research and development of the college English teaching system under the MOOC environment has been put on the agenda by universities such as Shanghai Jiaotong University and Fudan University. Based on the above analysis, this paper adopted the MVC framework to study the design and implementation of the MOOC platform under the blended English teaching mode
