1、a business plan of promoting moocs among chinese high school students-advancing the links between chinese college and high school education_1. introductionever since mit and havard employed mooc(massive online open courses), it is leading the revolutionary changes of traditional education systems1.

2、mooc has been accepted by many prestigious institutions of higher education. however, developing countries such as india and china still uses the most traditional educational systems2. the chinese government is now slowly supporting the use of mooc as it gradually become market-oriented and globaliz

3、ed. we believe moocs innovatives ideas will bring a trend to the future forms of education3.most people believe that the quality of educational systems are proportional to its price. but nowadays, as more and more university implement mooc and its policies of sharing informations, better education c

4、an be accessed cheaper and easier.the world is become more interconnected with internet and other forms of communication tools each day, therefore, online courses such as mooc will most likely be implemented by more and more institutions. it is possible that one day many chinese institude will also

5、use its ideas. since mooc is becoming and seen as such an important system of education for the future, we will discuss its use in chinese universities, high schools, and colleges, and others values such as its market potential, influence, availability, and feasibility in this paper.1.2 use of mooc

6、and its market potentialthe cost for premium or high-level education in china is lavish, and is not accessible for people in the lower class. only 23% of people from age 18-22 have graduated from university in 20064. therefore, a change is needed, and mooc comes right in place. -because mooc is onli

7、ne based, it is in fact a new market, indicating huge potentials such as pricing on premium courses, advertisements, paying to ask professionals online, and etc. if implemented, the price for coruses could be very low to attract a large amount of students in china.-teachers are a waste on human reso

8、urces because teachers have to cover the same materials each year for new students. with the implementation of mooc, it is most likely that the number of teachers could be greatly reduced. therefore, schools expenditure could be reduced. students will also have more free time because they can listen

9、 to courses and lectures in a less constricted area, for example, listening to a lecture in the metro.-preliminary cooperation among chinese top universities and coursera would firstly ensure the authority and practicability of the course resourses. also, the three self-admission alies among chinese

10、 top universities is, to some extent, the tacity approval of the current mode in which universities perform mutual cooperation. it has make it easier to build chinas mooc system. although the development of chinas internet is gradually becoming the forefront of the world, china still lacks technolog

11、ical innovation in its online market. the result of implementation of mooc is dependent on a countrys situation and condition, as a country with congenital national conditions, the great potential of mooc in china will likely create the worlds leading mooc running system high school-university link

12、mode?1.3 moocs competitiveness and advantagesmooc have considerable advantages that are unparalleled compared to traditional education. connectivism values autonomy, diversity, openness, and interactivity allow an instructor to assume the role of facilitator with learners actively interacting with o

13、ther students. “most significantly, moocs build on the engagement of learners who self-organize their participation according to learning goals, prior knowledge and skills, and common interests” therefore, active engagement and interaction are key mooc instructional methods5. moocs use of the makes

14、its accessibility is much higher than of traditional educations and reliable and recognized by most companies because of fast development of it. there are still many unrecognized gaps and inadequates in the chinese internet/online education market.1.4 management and profitability forecast1.4.1 manag

15、ementthe basic management should be done by universities, businesses, high school, government in a joint and consensus way. business and co-operations should should be responsible for resources and funds, schools and colleges will take mooc into practice, and the government are responsible for the o

16、verall coordination and supervision necessary. capital requirements include making and developing of the curriculum and courses, marketing, maintenance, advertisement, and funding during the beginning of early developments of mooc.6,71.4.2 profitability forecastprofits will be gained once courses an

17、d study materials are published online. partnerships with institutions, digital co-operations, sponsors, and advertisements could also generate income.in the earlier stage, profits mainly come from bonuses of the operation of moocs.in the later stage, profits mainly come from the bonuses of ipo(init

18、ial public offerings).the maturity stage of a moooc platform in china should be a completed industrial chain: technology, funding, application and teaching resources in the front end; companies that admit the learning experience of mooc learners and provide job opportunities for them in the back end

19、. the fact is, china has yet to fulfill the requirements of this completed industrial chain. meanwhile, internet business has great market opportunities to explore, such as producing online courses, trustee of courses and the utilization of data in the establishment of mooc platforms. this is also a

20、 important reason of our motivation for promoting moocs among chinese high schools. 2. entrepreneurial organization overview purpose: better education that serves the peoplename of the organization: flamingo development department of chinese moocsgoal: the promotion of moocs among chinese high schoo

23、 background of research and development3.1.1 - presently, the promotion of moocs has gained relatively low popularity among chinese senior high schools due to inadequate introduction, attracting only a few numbers of students in mostly elitist high schools of more developed regions. moreover, curren

24、t courses aimed at high school students specifically fail to realize large-scale educational resources sharing efficiently. by introducing moocs, courses for high school students could be advantageously shared through the network, embodying the central idea of moocs, which is massive and online.3.1.

25、2 -the long-term education reform and development plan (2010-2020) mentioned the role of technology, technology-driven reforms, and the importance information technology in education. it also mentioned that it has a revolutionary impact on the development of education8 and was highly recognized by t

26、he educational department and plan to speed up this process as one of 10 major aim of the plan because informatization is an inevitable trend and period for the future development of chinese education.3.1.3 -the current education reforms proposed convergence between university and high school is a b

27、reakthrough in chinas education reform9,10. weihe xie said ,the current breakthrough in educational reforms proposed is the convergence between university and high school. one of my basic proposals is to broaden the college and high school articulation mechanism, which is the basic trend of converge

28、nce with the way of reform. a change to broaden the basis of the relationship between the university and high school is needed. including the establishment of diverse and differentiated convergence mechanism to strengthen cooperation in universities and high schools, in order to truly produce innova

29、tive and talented students.11.promoting classes without division between liberal arts and sciences subjects is also the future direction of education reform, particularly important for reforming chinese college entrance examination. meanwhile, moocs, which cover a wide range of college majors, will

30、play an important role in fostering high school students understanding about college majors as well as improving their future professional skills. most chinese teachers stick to traditional teaching methods with a low level of application of educational technology in classes; students participate in

31、 the learning process with a lack of interaction, which obstructs the development of critical thinking and communication abilities. 3.1.4-inadequate and inefficient communications as well as collaboration between high schools and colleges contribute to the broken links between these two educational

32、institutions. promoting dialogues and strengthening cooperation are fundamental to advance the links between them.3.1.5-recent practices of moocs credit systemsin europe, (/story/001054156/?print=y) the newly introduced european credit transfer and accumulation system (ects) p

34、eady completed towards an appropriate equivalent degree in any of the 53 countries that have ratified the lisbon recognition convention.on the other hand, within mainland china, the development of mooc platforms has provided insights of forming a brand new mooc credit system between chinese colleges

35、. with the publication of qinghua universitys moocs platform, “xuetang online”(/), the vice principal of the elitist university, professor yuan si concluded that realizing mutual credits recognition would no longer be unreachable. to summarize, recent practices have revealed t

36、he significant potentials of building a strong mooc credit system for not only chinese colleges, but also the high schools.3.2 product patterns and development plansdevelopment plan oneabstract: advancing links between high school-required courses and college moocs by strengthening cooperation betwe
