Out of all the students who enroll in a massive open online course (MOOC) , only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed (有缺陷的) and offer little educational value to most students. Yet more than80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we look at these two facts?
We ’ re used to focusing on completion rates in higher education, but they’ re not the only—or even the most meaningful—indicator of engagement in open online courses. With no cost to enroll, no punishment for dropping out, and little reward for actually earning a certificate, MOOCs are fundamentally different from traditional classes—and students use them in fundamentally different ways.
Data from more than 1. 8 million students enrolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of Pennsylvania show that
students treat MOOCs like a buffet
(自助餐) , sampling the material according to their interests and career goals. Some are curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures: others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectual peers around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one video, complete at least one assignment, or post at least once in a forum.
So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOOC is misguided. The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.
What is the author’ s attitude toward MOOCs?
选项
A、Critical.
B、Supportive.
C、Indifferent.
D、Neutral.
答案
B
解析
态度题。根据文章第四段前两句可知,对于大型开放式网络课程来说,更重要的数字是参与度达到了60%。最后一句明确表达了作者的观点:尽管如此,慕课的课程仍然满足了数百万人的教育目标。所以选项B(支持的)正确。选项A(批判的)、选项C(漠不关心)和选项D(中立)均与文意不符,故答案为B。
