Research on the online open course of ancient literature in the “Internet+” era

Abstract

This paper firstly introduced the traditional classroom teaching mode, proposed the massive open online courses (MOOC) online teaching platform, and combined it with the traditional teaching mode for the teaching of ancient literature course. In case study, 200 students from Ningbo University of Finance and Economics were divided into a control class and an experimental class. The control class was taught by the traditional mode, while the experimental class was taught by the new mode combining traditional with MOOC. The final results showed that there was little difference in the grade distributions of the control and experimental classes before the respective instruction (the P value greater than 0.05); after the instruction the students’ ancient literature grades in the experimental class improved significantly (the P value less than 0.05), while the control class almost had no change (the P value greater than 0.05). The gap in the ancient literature grade between the control and experimental class students was significant (the P value less than 0.05).
