Abstract

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are online-based teaching programs designed to accommodate thousands of students without charging any fees. They began appearing in 2009 and 2010, became popular for a while, but are in decline now. This paper contains bibliometric and systematic reviews of research on MOOCs to see what can be learned from the innovation. The primary goals of these reviews are (1) to bibliometrically chart the research conducted on MOOCs and highlight significant milestones, (2) to reveal themes in MOOC research and discover key lessons, and (3) to surface any management education-specific lessons. The results show an increasing interest in scholarly work on MOOCs that demonstrates an enduring interest in reducing drop-out rates, although remedies have not yet been found. Studies demonstrate the importance of increasing opportunities for engagement and interaction. Few studies have explored MOOCs related to business and management. As universities have sought to monetize MOOCs, they have become less massive and less open as key components like credit and certification have been placed behind pay walls. The paper concludes with a critical discussion of MOOC research that suggests that they were a fad whose time has come and gone.
MOOC后期:2009年至2022年大规模在线开放课程研究的文献计量学和系统分析
大规模在线开放课程(MOOCs)是一种基于网络的教学项目,旨在容纳数千名学生,不收取任何费用。它们在2009年和2010年开始出现,流行了一段时间,但现在正在下降。本文对mooc的研究进行了文献计量学和系统回顾,以了解从这种创新中可以学到什么。这些综述的主要目标是:(1)对MOOC研究进行文献计量图表并突出重要里程碑,(2)揭示MOOC研究的主题并发现关键经验教训,(3)揭示任何管理教育特定经验教训。调查结果显示,人们对mooc的学术研究越来越感兴趣,这表明人们对降低辍学率有着持久的兴趣,尽管目前还没有找到补救措施。研究表明增加参与和互动机会的重要性。很少有研究探讨与商业和管理相关的mooc。随着大学试图将mooc货币化,它们变得不那么大规模,也不那么开放,因为学分和认证等关键部分被置于付费墙之后。论文最后对MOOC研究进行了批判性的讨论,认为MOOC是一种时尚,时代已经过去。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Management Education (JME) encourages contributions that respond to important issues in management education. The overriding question that guides the journal’s double-blind peer review process is: Will this contribution have a significant impact on thinking and/or practice in management education? Contributions may be either conceptual or empirical in nature, and are welcomed from any topic area and any country so long as their primary focus is on learning and/or teaching issues in management or organization studies. Although our core areas of interest are organizational behavior and management, we are also interested in teaching and learning developments in related domains such as human resource management & labor relations, social issues in management, critical management studies, diversity, ethics, organizational development, production and operations, sustainability, etc. We are open to all approaches to scholarly inquiry that form the basis for high quality knowledge creation and dissemination within management teaching and learning.
