Research and Improvement of Social Interaction in MOOC Platform

Abstract

Taking course discussion of MOOC education platform as example, this paper focuses on the quantity and quality of social interaction in MOOC teaching activities. This study finds that the discussion theme of the MOOC courses is quite rich, mainly based on the subject of curriculum learning, but lack of daily emotional exchange; the high level of interactive content in the course discussion is limited, mostly in the shallow level. In order to improve and promote the quantity and quality of social interaction of MOOC platform, we construct virtual interaction center of MOOC platform, and design three interactive modules: Q&A module, exploration module and sharing module.
