摘要
大规模在线开放课程(Massive Open Online Courses,简称MOOCs)在高等教育领域掀起了一股风暴,这是一个提升现有寄宿课程质量的机会。我们报告了苏黎世联邦理工学院2013年秋季学期的一次实验尝试,涉及我们的“编程入门”课程。我们设计并实现了MOOC基础设施,并将其用作SPOC(小型私人在线课程),以支持和补充现有课程。本文报告的结果令人鼓舞,有两个原因:第一,尽管在线课程是对住宿课程的选修,但参与水平良好;其次,学生们非常喜欢这些评估(小测验和编程练习),尽管这些评估并不计入课程的最终成绩。我们收集的数据表明,这可能至少部分是由于我们在课程中引入的游戏化方面:在测试中获得满分就会获得虚拟徽章。
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), which have taken higher education by storm, are an opportunity to elevate the quality of existing residential courses. We report about an experimental attempt during the Autumn 2013 semester at ETH Zurich, involving our "Introduction to Programming" course. We designed and implemented a MOOC infrastructure and used it as a SPOC (Small Private Online Course) to support and complement the existing course. The results reported in this article are encouraging for two reasons: first, the participation level was good, in spite of the fact that the online course was an optional addition to the residential course; second, students really liked the assessments (quizzes and programming exercises), in spite of the fact that assessments did not count towards the course final grade. The data we collected suggest that this may, at least in part, be due to a gamification aspect we introduced in the course: awarding virtual badges for obtaining full points in the quizzes.
