Design and Implementation for cMOOC-oriented Online Course Learning Community

Abstract

The emergence of MOOC has fundamentally changed the traditional teaching methods. MOOC enables students obtaining high-quality course resources anytime and anywhere using internet technology, which has the characteristics of massive, open and low-cost. However, current MOOC systems have several problems to solve: (1) the lack of real-time interactions between teachers and students; (2) lack of individual learning management; (3) lack of opinion leader mechanism. This paper designed an online course community system towards MOOC, including real-time interaction service, opinion leader forming process and resource sharing framework.
