A class with hundreds of thousands of students might sound like a teacher's bad dream. But a big idea in higher education these days is the massive open online course, or MOOC.
Some universities offer free, non-credit MOOCs available to anyone in the world. Others charge for courses and provide credits. The idea is still developing.
So far, most massive open online courses are in computer science, technology, mechanics and engineering. For example, students around the world are taking a free course called “Building a Computer Search Engine”. Two computer scientists, Sebastian Thrun and David Evans, are offering this course through udacity.com. Mr. Evans is an associate professor from Virginia University and Mr. Thrun is a Stanford research professor.
There are no education requirements for the course. The students watch short videos. And then they take informal quizzes after the videos each week for six weeks.
David Evans said, “Quizzes are part of the lecture to keep students busy and thinking, for students to be able to check that they understood what we covered. Those aren't graded and students try those as often as they want.”
They can repeatedly watch the videos and take the quizzes whenever they want.
Students receive homework. They join online groups to exchange questions and answers about the course.
The teachers hold virtual office hours to answer questions that the students have voted to send them. They also present their own questions and observations.
The students take a final examination to show where they rate in the class. Everyone who finishes the course receives a grade and proof of completion.
Mr. Thrun started Udacity, which supports free MOOCs. Udacity hopes to make a profit in the future by connecting possible employers with interested students. On his Stanford homepage he says he wants to “democratize” education. Education, he says, should be free, accessible for all, everywhere and any time.
16．What do we know about MOOCs from the passage? A．All of them are not free.
B．They are a bad dream for teachers.
C．They are popular among high school students.
