Research on College Computer-Computing and Information Literacy online course based on MOOC: taking the North Minzu University as an example

Abstract

In 2015, North Minzu University (NMU) introduced MOOC teaching method into the teaching practice of computer major. It is the first experiment of this teaching method in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. In the three years of teaching practice, NMU has made some achievements in MOOC online teaching, but at the same time, it has found that it lacks a set of MOOC teaching theories and methods suitable for the university's teaching situation and students' learning situation. In order to draw on the advantages of MOOC teaching and solve the problems encountered in the previous teaching practice in NMU, we plan to adopt the teaching philosophy of “learning determines teaching, and student-learning is the center” and the new teaching method of “MOOC+SPOC+Flipped Classroom” to design a new teaching scheme. The new teaching scheme was experimented with 2018 freshmen from the School of Mathematics and Information Science of NMU. The experimental results show that the new teaching method not only improves the quality of MOOC teaching in NMU and reduces the burden of teachers, but also enables students have more sense of acquisition, satisfaction, and achievement in the process of learning. This paper introduces the background, design, and practice of the “MOOC+SPOC+Flipped Classroom” teaching method, and analyzes the experimental data to study its feasibility.
