【Brown读书小组+雅音论坛】1月25日活动预告：中国教育论坛（哈佛）——大规模网络公开课（MOOCs）幕后的故事

[Zhao, Xuan]

亲爱的读书小组小伙伴们，

大家一月快乐！新学期的第一周周末，读书小组将以非比寻常的热度，和与大家一起迎来一个崭新的、令人期待的学期！就让我们从近年来炙手可热的“网络公开课”开始，探究：

• 世界顶尖的网络公开课如何诞生？
  
• 网络公开课如何改变教育领域和大众受教育的方式？
  
• 我们每个人能从网络公开课中获得什么？
  
• 中国教育的实践者们在做什么？中国教育论坛在做什么？我们能为中国教育做些什么？
• 等等

四位哈佛教育学院毕业的嘉宾小伙伴，将和大家分享他们与大规模网络公开课（MOOCs）结缘的故事，带大家走进HarvardX的办公室，一窥MOOCs的诞生过程。

本次活动联合CSSA-ECHO雅音论坛共同举行，分享嘉宾来自中国教育论坛。中国教育论坛是由哈佛大学教育学院一批学生发起的致力于连接实践者,学者,政策制定者以及各界人士,从而促进与中国教育相关的讨论并支持教育实践的组织. 论坛成员遍布中美两地的各种教育组织。

时间：1月25日，下午4点。

地点：Brown校内（TBD）。

语言：英语。欢迎邀请对此话题感兴趣的non-Chinese speaker前来。

【嘉宾介绍】

• 刘俊杰：毕业于哈佛教育学院科技、创新与教育项目，深信教育可以改变世界，科技可以改变教育。关注中国弱势群体和高等教育的问题。爱分享，爱各种新科技和新媒体。对各类教育和技术结合的领域都很感兴趣，尤其是MOOC。是MOOC的狂热爱好者、深度观察者和初步实践者，目前在edX旗下的HarvardX开发MOOC课程。希望MOOC能给中国的高等教育带来有益的改变。

• 黄彗涵：我毕业于哈佛教育学院国际教育政策专业。我对MOOC的兴趣源于其在促进教育公平方面的潜力。从2005起，通过在云南和四川的支教经历，我深刻的体会到农村学生所面临的现实困难。在高中和大学时期，我也曾服务于美国的贫困学校。基于我的经历，我认为MOOC有能力为这些学生提供教育。因此，我目前正在帮助哈佛开发一堂由包教授和柯教授主讲的中国历史MOOC课程。 

• 陈筱迪：因为对儿童早期教育以及教育科技的兴趣，我来到哈佛大学教育学院学习人类发展和心理学。在哈佛的这一年，我从一个MOOC的学习者，变成了制作者，由衷感受到在线教育的潜力。我希望随着在线教育的兴起，我们能更加尽兴地活到老，学到老。 

• 赵怡然：是一位研究助理。现在她在哈佛大学评估一项利用大规模网络公开课（MOOCs）课件而进行的颠转课堂的尝试对学生的影响。她去年毕业于哈佛大学教育学院的国际教育政策研究生项目。她的主要研究兴趣是发展中国家的农村教育和项目评估。在中国教育论坛里，她主要负责与品牌和宣传有关的工作。 

期待本周六见到大家！地址将在随后的邮件中通知。

新学期开始了撒花中的，

Mark your calendars NOW!

Behind the Scenes of MOOCs—Presented by China Education Symposium

(Co-hosts: Brown Chinese Reading Group & Brown CSSA /Echo Symposium)

In this event, the guests from China Education Symposium will share how they became involved with Massive Open Online Courses. They will take you inside the office of HarvardX and introduce the production process of MOOCs. China Education Symposium is an organization that promotes conversation and practice related to China’s education by connecting and supporting young practitioners, scholars, policy-makers and other relevant parties. It was founded by a group of students at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Members of CES are involved with educational organizations in both China and the U.S.

Time: 4pm, January 25th (Sat)

Location: TBD (on Brown campus)

Language: English

Panel speakers:

• Junjie Liu
  

I graduated from the Technology, Innovation and Education program at Harvard Graduate School of Education. I'm a fervent believer in the power of education in changing the world as well as the power of technology in changing education. The education issues of China's underserved children and higher education intrigue me the most. I'm interested in all sorts of new media and technology, MOOCs in particular. As a MOOC developer at HarvardX, I sincerely hope it will bring conducive change to China's higher education landscape. 

• Huihan Huang
  

I am a recent graduate of Harvard Graduate School of Education’s International Education Policy program. I first became interested in Massive Open Online Courses for the potential they have to increase equity in education. Since 2005 I have been exposed to the realities rural students face in China through my volunteer teaching experiences in rural Yunnan and Sichuan. I have also spent my high school and college years volunteering underserved school here. Because of my experiences I feel that MOOCs have a unique ability to reach these students who would otherwise not have the chance to access these materials. Because of this, I am currently helping to develop a MOOC on Chinese history taught by professor Bol and professor Kirby. 

• Xiaodi Chen
  

With a belief in the large social impact that investing in early childhood education and education technology has, I came to the Harvard Graduate School of Education to study Human Development and Psychology. During my year at Harvard, I turned from a MOOC learner to a MOOC maker and was greatly struck by the potential of online education. I hope that with the flourishing of online education, we are able to truly embrace the life-long learning culture. 

• Yiran Zhao
  

Yiran Zhao is a research assistant at Harvard University. She is evaluating the impact of flipped classroom models that use MOOC materials in Harvard College. She graduated from the International Education Policy program at Harvard Graduate School of Education last year. Her main research interests are rural education in developing countries and program evaluation. In CES, she mainly deals with publicity and branding issues.

Looking forward to your participation!

Best regards,

Xuan Zhao

大家好，我叫丁弋，爱读书和学习新事物。
刚刚加入读书小组，希望大家以后多指教。

很赞的题目，经常在Coursera和EdX上试听不同的MOOC，碰到中国同学的年龄和教育背景极为多样化。


谈谈我的一些拙见。

1.
我们从来不缺乏有学习热情和聪明的学生，但很多时候很多地方仍缺乏充足的养料和适当的指导。
个人认为在最好的那些学校里，学生之间的互相帮助和教育，和老师给的指导同等重要。有时甚至更重要。
这在MOOC重现并得到证实。

2.
MOOC上目前搜索分类只有Subject和School，若能加上比如Approximate Level (of Prerequisites) - Lower School, Middle/High School, College, Grad School；将极大的方便用户理清从哪里开始以及学习的顺序。已经有分类的Topic Series和Specialization Certification开始出现。另外目前众多老师提出Prerequisites时难免主观，将来MOOC发展到一定规模时，同一个主题也许有几百 上千门课，不可能每门课都试着听听看再决定最后选哪一门：也许会需要大众或者专业人士(自愿的，如维基百科那样？)系统地理出大致的学习图谱，像大学 为学生做的一样；也许官方可以把同主题Facebook likes这样的指标也做一个排序供大家参考。

3.
MOOC将在中国教育的未来扮演重要的角色，但不是唯一的，也许只是辅助和诱因。在一个知识爆炸人人可以轻易获取信息的年代，到底在什么时刻最需要学什么，怎么学，和什么群体一起学，都将成为重要的问题。而比知识更重要的如道德，价值，公正，集体意识，生存技能，风险和危机处理，这类学习曾有一个朋友总结叫Discrete Learning 离散式学习，和学校的Continous Learning相对，很贴切，MOOC不可替代。在某些生活实践中获得的体验，比如AFS Intercultural Exchange和Semester At Sea，MOOC不可替代。

4.
MOOC只是平台，人与人的互动是学习中关键的部分之一。如果未来物联网真正开始普及，在中国这样一个人口众多(可以说是MOPP, Massive Open People Platform)的国家，人与人之间会通过MOOC之类的平台产生怎样的互动，又会对中国教育的未来产生怎样的革命性影响。令人期待。


最感兴趣的话题：“中国教育的实践者们在做什么？中国教育论坛在做什么？我们能为中国教育做些什么？”

可惜离得比较远，不能到场。时间允许，能够有选择地帮我问问各位嘉宾对以上一些问题的看法吗？

谢谢！

谢谢丁弋！我觉得你的建议特别实用，你的邮件已经转达CES的嘉宾，相信他们会handle你的问题！

如果你希望远程skype in或者用Google hangout也可以的。

读书小组居然有西海岸学校的毕业生，真是稀客~欢迎欢迎！另外，如果你对CES有兴趣的话，完全应该加入他们的网上社区——这件事相信CES的同学会和你继续follow up ：）

大家好！

哈佛教育学院（HGSE）推出了他们的第一门MOOC课程：Unlocking the Immunity to Change: A New Approach to Personal Improvement，主题是如何给自己的工作与生活带来长期的积极改变（培养好习惯？）。课程链接：https://www.edx.org/course/harvardx/harvardx-gse1x-unlocking-immunity-change-940

课程内容貌似非常实用，值得有兴趣的同学奔走相告。

该课程从3月11日开课，所以想要上课的同学需要抓紧时间提前注册。
