The Development Prospects and Challenges of MOOCs Teaching in Medical Education in China

“慕课”具有大规模、开放性、在线和共享性等特性，已经成为教育革命的一个新方向。欧美一些国家已经开始尝试将慕课应用于医学教育。2014年，我国建立了中国医学教育慕课联盟，国内的中文慕课平台随之相继出现，课程内容主要为基础医学课程。慕课的发展需要坚持政府、企业及高校三位一体，由高校提供课程策划与具体内容设置，企业进行投资运营，政府或教育行政机构进行督导协调。同时，建立慕课联盟，可以更好地提高课程质量。在现阶段的课程中，慕课目前更加适合作为基础教育及继续教育的补充。慕课的内容更新较快，对网络、移动终端等硬件及师资、制作与维护等软件方面提出了更高的要求。慕课的课程质量评价和学生的学习效果反馈也是目前亟需解决的技术难点。在不远的将来，慕课将成为我国医学教育的重要手段。The MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have the characteristics of large-scale, open, online, and sharing, and triggered a revolution in education.
