Since the Internet appeared,the information has become more and more easy to get,but the online education was given birth 39 years later than the time when it emerged for the first time in UCLA,and it is really a long time.Now,with more and more attention is paid to the massive open online course,it is time to have some discussions about the online courses.
In my view,the MOOC really trigger a revolution around the world and we must keep fully alert to avoid being lagged behind the developed countries,which entails my homeland,the People's Republic of China.China which is a developing country that indicates that the education and science and technology are the weak parts.So it is extremely important to improve the competence of our compatriots’ caliber .The resource,which mostly means the fund and good teachers,is limited.But the population of China is large,and students are stressed especially.How to solve the controversies between the infinite resource and the considerable students ?The answers are myriad but the MOOC is the optimum one.Why?Because it balance the supply and demand.Through the MOOC,we can contact with the world class’s professors’ knowledge freely with alacrity.It is easy to get access without the permanent and stable spot.Everyone can choose the course that is suitable to himself or is in his favor.Like the Times once said, “Already, the hyperventilating has outpaced reality; desperate parents are praying that free online universities will finally pop the tuition bubble — and nervous college officials don’t want to miss out on a potential gold rush. The signs of change are everywhere, and so are the signs of panic.”(Amanda Ripley,2012)
As we all have human frailties,the MOOC also has its disadvantage.According to the recent comments from my friends(No one,2015),students in MOOC prefer the courses which has little difficulty ,small amount of homework and are facile to get points and undemanding.Then,a new question,whether the MOOC impair the ambition of the students to strengthen their intelligence and knowledge frame ,is put forward to consider .
Now,prime minister Li Keqiang stands out to advocate the decline of fee of net(Li keqiang,2015),which reveals another barrier between the users and the MOOC that is the expensive Internet fees.A question that has been asked so many times still is essentially to ask again is whether the cost Of MOOC can be cheaper so that more courses are available with same budget and more students are able to gain the opportunity to the good education resources.That will absolutely makes the world better and more fair.
These are just some dissuasion about the MOOC.May the god be ever in its favor and bless my homeland to reach the great revival destination.
*one participant's experience *
I am a young boy who loves to learn and study.I began to accept the online course in 2010.It was a free time when our country's Internet had little limit to gain the information we interest.And I found some open courses online such as the Death of the Yale university,the Positive Psychology and the Justice of the Harvord university,the Principles of the chemistry of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,and so forth.They were not only interesting to experience but also useful to help me to live better and to think more critical.Years in and out,the MOOC started to get touch with me in 2013.The ads put forward so many advantages and I can't help using it as soon as I knew it. I learned to program by it and it occurred to me that it was a menace to the reality education .Maybe I had to compete with some one who got education or degrees online in the future. But who knows it?Maybe the reality education will enhance so that we can accept the world class education and the lowers will die out.
