Abstract
With the gradual cooling of the MOOC boom in the world, how to rationally carry out research on technology to promote educational change requires effective consensus. View all >>View all >> : With the international MOOC boom gradually cooling down, how to Rational research on technology to promote educational change requires an effective consensus. Funded by the Gates Foundation, George Siemens hosted the “MOOC Research Program” and in February 2015 published a research report entitled “Welcome to Digital Universities: A Discussion on Remote, Mixed and Online Learning” . The report comprehensively reviewed the research and practice results of six aspects of distance education, mixed learning, online learning, certification and evaluation, MOOCs and future learning system architecture, combed related concept terms, discussed the issues involved, and preliminary predictions. Deepen the direction of research and practice innovation. The report proposes that the significance of “creating a digital university” is to promote the existing universities to adapt to the challenges and opportunities of information development trends and to change the shape of university education. A systematic interpretation of this international online education research report further clarifies the technology to promote educational change, that is, university teaching reform will increasingly focus on the new trend of mixed education, and the human learning style will move toward a ubiquitous learning new ecology. Therefore, our research team combined with relevant research to propose the concept and practice framework of “ubiquitous large-scale open online education system” (ie uMOOCS) to adapt to the “digital learning” of learners who are in line with the development of the times.
