Pursuing a successful future career, students in higher education need to develop their creativity and professional knowledge. Therefore, higher education should focus on the cultivation of creativity and professional knowledge through SPOC. This study aimed to establish a “SPOC Teaching Mode” for fostering students’ creativity, by integrating online resources with classroom activities in order to develop a creative and professional education. The application of the mode is expected to stimulate students’ engagements in autonomous learning activities, by practicing problemfinding and problem-solving skills, furthermore, facilitate students’ professional knowledge learning as well as enhance their creativity in the professional field. Finally, a survey questionnaire was distributed to the participants in order to evaluate their views about the SPOC teaching mode.","PeriodicalId":326580,"journal":{"name":"The IAFOR International Conference on Education – Hawaii 2020 Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127898431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All these projects that invest in human capital work to boost the economy and reduce poverty. However, a close look at the World Bank projects revealed that that ethics education is missing in these projects. Even though the Bank has its own Ethics Department guiding the behaviors of its employees, the projects it conducted in countries in poverty does not involve ethics education, an essential element in poverty alleviation. Other than explaining why extreme poverty exists and why certain groups of people keep returning to the poverty stage while receiving support from the government, this article takes China as an example based on scholarly publications to explain why ethics education is necessary in the World Bank poverty alleviation projects. Based on the literature review, this article argues that it is crucial to offer opportunities for those who do not have access to discover alternative lifestyles due to limited resources and low socioeconomic status and to facilitate people to determine a life goal in order to eliminate extreme poverty effectively.","PeriodicalId":326580,"journal":{"name":"The IAFOR International Conference on Education – Hawaii 2020 Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114914244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I will walk through different product developments with a variety of MOOC platforms from free open educational resources (OER) courses to full online degree programs from elite universities. I will also walk through data illustrating which are the primary MOOC providers and geographic trends for what different regions are doing with MOOCs. This includes degrees in North America, partnerships across institutions for content in Latin America, credentialed courses that can be used for credit in any European institution and popularity of MOOCs in Asia.
