An Interactive Study Of MOOC Learning Communities From An Ecological Perspective

With the tide of Internet plus starting,Internet plus education is imperative.Relying on Internet and known as massive open online course,and with the characters of expansibility,openness,interactivity,internationalization and independence,MOOC is developing rapidly in need of education modernization.To respond to the call of ecological culture,and to have a more comprehensive look at the nature of the research object,the study is trying to explain the interactive mystery of learning community formed by MOOC,which has many problems at present itself.Through analysis and thinking of related literature at home and abroad,the study arrives at the interpretation of learning community formed by MOOC from the prospective of ecology.The learning community formed by MOOC can be thought as a learning ecosystem formed by MOOC.It is composed of learning community and learning environment of MOOC.Learning community interacts with learning environment of MOOC to jointly maintain the ecological balance of the ecosystem.Among them,learning community is composed of learners,teachers and learning assistants,while learning environment of MOOC is composed of learning resource environment,interactive collaborative environment and cultural norms environment.The interaction of learning ecosystem formed by MOOC consists of interaction between learning ecosystem of MOOC and social ecosystem,and interaction between each member of learning community,and interaction between learning community and learning environment of MOOC.That’s the ecology connotation of interaction of learning community formed by MOOC.And then to make investigation on and to make analysis of the interaction of learning community formed by MOOC as a learner.Obtain the ecological imbalance situation existed in the interaction of learning community formed by MOOC.After that,analyze the reasons of problems existed in the interaction of the learning community from inner and external sides.Finally,put forward some strategic suggestions.First,fully open and improve the learning environment of MOOC.Second,enhance awareness,and hone the will.Third,strengthen science popularization,fund,and develop the dedication spirit of all-for-one-and-one-for-all.The innovation points in the present study are as followed.First,the perspective of ecology provides a new angle for the research of interaction of learning community formed by MOOC.Second,the interaction is the deep study of MOOC learning community,helping to enrich and perfect the existing MOOC research theory,and to lay a solid theoretical foundation for deeper research.At the same time,the study also has some shortcomings.For the interaction studyof MOOC learning ecosystem,the content analysis category table of interaction of MOOC learning ecological system designed after summarizing and thinking in many ways unavoidably exists deficiencies because of lack of necessary references and limitation of ability.In view of the above research conclusions and the deficiencies,the aim in the future is to study the interaction of MOOC learning ecosystem more in-depth,to explore a more scientific and reasonable content analysis category table of the ecological interaction.In addition,the object of the study is limited to the only course named Introduction to Programming — C Language of the platform called Chinese universities MOOC.In order to make the conclusion a better representation for the interactive situation of MOOC learning community,methods and contents of the research on interaction of MOOC learning community still need to be perfected further in the next step.
