With the popularity of MOOC, flip course and micro-course, online education is influencing people's evaluation of higher education.Various predictions have been made about the future state of higher education.Although I don't believe online education can overturn traditional higher education, I believe online course credit certification will bring about a revolution in higher education.The learner will break through the time and space constraints to obtain a degree and degree in any country or university he wants, provided he has sufficient certification for online learning outcomes.It won't be too long.At present, some universities in China still do not pay attention to the development of online courses.They don't want to believe that free MOOC introduced by American universities has a deeper meaning.But practice will eventually prove that MOOC is a potential university position occupation.Under the free banner, it takes in students extensively.Until one day, universities that don't have online courses will find that students in their universities are learning about MOOCs in the United States online, and their professors can only tutor.
Therefore, we can even assert that universities that do not value online curriculum development will become training institutions.Today's university attaches importance to the development of network curriculum and the construction of learning platform should be a wise and rational choice.Online education will bring about changes in learning forms, learning effects, and learning outcomes.But how modern information technology can promote the learning effect is a global problem, is also a global problem, but also a global sociology, information technology, pedagogy, communication and other subjects.Some people say that educational information technology in the United States and Japan has been stagnant for ten years, and China's current educational information technology is also stagnant.One of the reasons is that information technology has no revolutionary effect on the improvement of learning effect, the reform of teaching mode and the construction of curriculum system.From the perspective of network curriculum construction, most of the current network curriculum construction is a copy of the physical classroom, there is no real revolutionary change.The students' learning style and learning effect did not change as expected.People's understanding of them still does not enter the rational state, more is superficial perceptual understanding.The "wolf" behind online education seems to be a long way off.In fact, the wolf may have arrived at the door.Our country is becoming a battlefield for higher education all over the world.
In order to cope with the current situation, and in order to gain our fair share in the global higher education market in the future.We should pay attention to online education and online curriculum development.Online education is not only a platform for education, but also a battlefield for future education, and online courses are both a must for online learning and a decoy for battlefield education.We should develop online curriculum according to the ultimate goal and principle of online education in the future.
What is the ultimate goal of online education?I think this can be summed up in two ways: first, to achieve private customization of education; second, to achieve "universal learning" of education.
What is private customization for education?That is to meet the personality needs of the educated.One of the basic conclusions of future education research is that in the future, people prefer to choose individualized courses, which account for 83%, and standardized courses account for only 17%.It should be said that the future of online technology, big data, for the analysis of the human needs of educators created conditions and possibilities.The ultimate goal of education is to meet people's individual needs, and the online curriculum should serve and design for this goal.Ubiquitous learning means that anyone who wants to learn can learn at any time, anywhere using any mobile or fixed client, interacting with someone he or she thinks needs to learn whatever knowledge he or she needs.In fact, this is not only the extension of education private customization, but also the evolution of education for human service, which reflects the concept and pursuit of education people-oriented.This is undoubtedly the ultimate goal of education and the goal of online curriculum development.
Specifically to the network curriculum construction, it meets the above two educational ultimate goals, need to follow the following basic principles.
First, students-oriented, network curriculum construction should focus on students' actual characteristics and meet the essential needs of students' learning
Teaching to be student-oriented, the network curriculum must also learn the actual characteristics-based.For junior college students, the curriculum should reflect skills and practice; for undergraduate students, it should reflect systematization and knowledge; for graduate students, it should reflect academic and research; for further education, it should reflect time fragmentation.Only from the practical point of view can we design the online curriculum that fits the students' actual characteristics.so that students can be interested in such courses.The evaluation method and module composition of network curriculum should meet this need.To deepen this need is to meet the essential needs of students.The essential needs of students determine the degree of students' need for online courses, which is the premise of students' love of listening, learning and understanding.Taking the present correspondence teaching reform as an example, it is necessary and inevitable to change correspondence teaching face-to-face into human-computer conversation.I think the essence of correspondence students is to learn as much as possible in their limited time.At this time, the online curriculum must be combined with national education, i.e., life-long learning into continuing education, improving national literacy and well-being index, vocational education, i.e., meeting students' professional needs, and lifelong education.The network curriculum should not only pursue "higher and higher", but also set up the education teaching system and network curriculum system centered on the essential needs of students.Only by providing as many courses as possible and creating more general learning conditions can students be considered to meet their essential needs.The essential needs of the undergraduate and graduate students are also different, and the network curriculum construction should meet the essential needs of the students.
Second, the aim of the curriculum is based, the network curriculum should meet the systematic requirements of knowledge
Different student objects require different online courses.However, no matter what kind of students, their online curriculum should pay attention to the systematic requirements of the curriculum.It can be designed according to the needs of different students, but it can not destroy the integrity of the curriculum.It's just that the focus is different.For undergraduates, the emphasis is on professionalism and skill; for undergraduates, the emphasis is on systematization and basic; and for graduate students, the emphasis is on academicization and profoundness.For example, for vehicle engineering students, it is systematic driving knowledge; for college students, it is maintenance skills; for undergraduates, it is working principle; and for graduate students, it is change and problems.Each category of online courses requires a certain degree of systematicity.The network curriculum knowledge of junior college students is not fragmented. The key is to develop the appropriate systematic knowledge according to the essential needs.
Third, in order to promote the learning effect as the basis, the network curriculum should make full use of all kinds of information technology.
The promotion of modern information technology to learning is a worldwide subject.In recent years, many disciplines have been studying the promotion and promotion of information technology learning effect, which is why Mu class, micro class and flip course come from which.But none of them is entirely scientific.It is only scientific and reasonable to use appropriate information technology according to different students in online courses.For example, in order to improve students' comprehensive quality, we should pay attention to the reality of people's fragmentation of time and the influence of mobile technology.The construction of network curriculum must adapt to and study the information technology to help the learning, scientific and reasonable attraction of other subjects, such as pedagogy and psychology.In any case, future online courses should reflect the spirit of Internet equality, openness, sharing, individuality, interaction and high respect for creativity, and the nature of the Internet that is open, shared and communicated.And make the online curriculum construction reflect the characteristics of mobility, fragmentation, playfulness, interaction and multi-experience as much as possible to meet the students' learning needs, development needs and enjoyment needs.
Fourth, with learning achievement certification as the carrier, the online curriculum should provide more experience for human learning and bring greater fairness
Cyber-education gives education the possibility that educators can obtain education of the same quality anytime, anywhere.The credit certification of online courses will bring about the revolution of higher education in the world.The learner will break through the time and space constraints to obtain a degree and degree in any country or university he wants, provided he has sufficient certification for online learning outcomes.It won't be too long.This makes it possible for learners to gain more educational experience, teaching perception, more teachers and more classmates.Network curriculum construction should focus on providing more experiences for the educated, bringing more equitable direction to the educated, and providing the possibilities and situations of general learning.The network curriculum is the cornerstone of this kind of revolution in educational practice, and it is an attempt to get revolutionary education for the educated.Minerva University in San Francisco is piloting such a "revolutionary educational reform" - online platform teaching and experiential education.The four-year undergraduate course will be taught in several cities around the world
