MOOCs in tourism and hospitality: a review

ABSTRACT

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have grown significantly and globally in less than ten years. However, practices and research in tourism and hospitality MOOCs remain nascent. This study proposes the MOOC Components Framework with six groups of course components: scaffolding, lectures, networking, collaboration, assessment, and affirmation. Drawing on this framework and a case study method, the study analyses 18 tourism and hospitality MOOCs from higher education institutions. The results highlight that: tourism and hospitality MOOC offerings lack diversity; the forum is the preferred communication tool; social media are comparatively underused; the discontinuity of MOOC instructors needs attention; and finally, littless multilingual support is available.     

MOOCs对国际贸易专业来华留学生教学的启示

MOOCs的兴起对于来华留学生教育既是挑战又是机遇。 MOOCs课程的构成要素包括课程视频、课程测验和互动社区,通过分析MOOCs深受欢迎且快速发展的原因,针对当前国际贸易专业来华留学生教学中存在的学生基础参差不齐、趋同教学与差异教学面临两难、教学师资不足等问题,提出根据课程性质和特点合理应用和开发MOOCs资源的策略。     

MOOCs对高职院校教学的借鉴分析

MOOCs是一种大规模、开放的在线课程学习模式。采用MOOCs教学模式,能够使高职院校共享更多的优质教学资源,为高职院校师生创造接触多元文化的机会,有利于搭建高职院校的自主学习平台,同时也能缓解高职院校师资力量短缺的问题。     

地方院校推广MOOCs的必要性研究

国内各大院校的精品课程项目已经建设到一定的规模,但推广和应用还很不够,与国外的网络化教育存在很大差距。为了使这些资源得到更有效的利用,提升教学质量和科研水平,地方院校应该积极利用现有的人力物力以及经验和资源上的优势致力于推广应用MOOCs的学习新模式。     

Moocs视野下工学结合会计实践创新模式

随着中国2013MOOCs元年的开启,MOOCs对中国的高等教育正在产生划时代的影响,在此背景下,依托MOOCs教学平台,研究工学结合会计实践教学创新模式,构建MOOCs视野下新型会计实践路径。     

大学学科教育和图书馆建设对"慕课"探索

慕课的出现适合于我国现发展阶段的实际需要, 为用户提供了适宜的平台. 在这一平台上, 可以系统化的获得参考咨询以完善自身知识体系的构建. 慕课的含义是网络环境下的自主学习, 慕课的理念与特点是基于单元备课与合作模式探讨, 慕课的存在依据是教育理论与教育实践在信息科学发展下的应用, 慕课的建设基础是大学学科教育和大学图书馆参与咨询工作, 慕课的突出体现在与"酷学习".     

The demise of the American hegemony in international business research has been greatly exaggerated

The drivers for the internationalization of business teaching and research were multinational corporations, the Cold War, and the relative price advantage of non-America business schools. Yet, the internationalization largely failed to reflect local contexts. The consequent paucity of original local business thought, international or not, exposes non-American business schools to the raid of American-based massive open online courses which will prune off the mainstay courses at emerging market business schools. Deprived of a substantial share of their fee-paying students, the remaining docents at those schools will be less likely to publish altogether, including in fields that might sustain independent thought. Therefore, American-like international business research is likely to have a longer life, more narrowly focused on English-speaking countries and Europe, with even less of a contribution from emerging markets.
