摘要

计算机科学专业中女性学生的稀缺是当今该学科面临的最令人不安的挑战之一。计算机科学本科课程的女性入学率从20世纪80年代的高点下降了50%以上，部分原因被认为是不受欢迎的课堂环境。我们假设大规模开放网络课程(MOOC)提供的虚拟教室可能为许多女学生提供更舒适的学习空间。本文讲述了三名计算机专业高年级女生第一次接触MOOC课堂的经历。

MOOCs as facilitator: Online learning and women in STEM

The scarcity of female students in computer science programs is one of the most troubling challenges facing the discipline today. Enrollment of women in computer science undergraduate courses has fallen by over 50% from its high point in the 1980s, and is believed to be due, in part, to unwelcoming classroom environments. We postulate that the virtual classroom offered by Massively Open Online Courses (“MOOC”s) may provide a more comfortable learning space for many female students. This paper relates the experience of three female upper-level computer science majors when encountering a MOOC classroom for the first time.
