Release time:2015-12-15 
At 15:30, March 18th, a fascinating seminar on MOOCS was held in Room A7-303. The faculty from Department of Information Technology and Business Administration were present, and they had a warm discussion on a number of topics which were widely concerned about. At this seminar, the faculty watched the case video of national well-known universities successfully spreading MOOCS, and experienced its concept of “Separation and Combination”. As to teachers, “Separation” meant the teaching contents were separated: the knowledge was shown in fragment and modularity; “Combination” meant the teaching methods were combined: from information sharing before class, to team discussion, online questions answering, assignment synchronization after class, etc.; while as to students, “Separations” meant the separation of time and venue; and “Combination” meant the integration of the entire study process. In the seminar, the faculty also communicated on the revolutionary change of the Flipped Classroom to class teaching which brought by MOOCs. With watching the vivid video explanation, everyone was clear about the purpose and form of the Flipped Classroom, and it was agreed that under the security of sound teaching principles, the Flipped Classroom would definitely motivate students on study. In addition, the development process and methods of MOCCs were also communicated in this seminar and the participating teachers watched multiple MOCCS, from the Blackboard Deduction Mathematics Micro class from Khan Academy, to the Micro Class of Circuit which combined the deduction, experiment projects and simulation environment, from Tsinghua University, and to the 3D Micro Class of intuitively showing complicated heart bracket surgeries.  Quite a number of teachers were amazed at the diversity and the surprising teaching effect of micro class. Within one hour’s seminar, faculty felt the fresh and wonderful moment brought by MOOCS, and also felt the huge impact of MOOCS on traditional course. Department of Information Technology and Business Administration would like to take this seminar as the opportunity to discuss commonly how to face the challenge of soft study in the generation of Cloud Computing, explore the MOOC model centered with students, and consequently deepen the teaching innovative results of TOPCARES-CDIO education.
