Research on “Cell Biology” Flipped Classroom Based on MOOC Era
YANG Hao, ZHANG Shubing*
In the era of information, the traditional teaching in classroom can no longer meet the knowledge needs of university students. A MOOC (massive open online course) is an online course aimed at large-scale interactive participation and open access via the web. Characterized by large scale, openness and sharing, MOOC greatly integrates the teachers, students and classroom three parts with the Internet to establish a new teaching mode. As a branch of life science that studies the structure and function of the cell, cell biology is involved in many fields of biology, clinical medicine and other basic disciplines, and then the innovations in teaching undergraduate cell biology are very important. Based on MOOC of “cell decoding” course, this artical has explores flipped classroom during giving the lecture of cell biology. At the same time, in order to give full play to the advantages of flipped classroom, the SPOC (small private online courses) were used locally for the on-campus students of Xiangya medical school, the school of basic medicine and the school of life sciences in Central South University. The purpose of lecture is to provide a design of online-merge-offline classroom for open education of cell biology, to better understand the reforms of relevant teaching modes, courses arrangement, teaching effects evaluation and teaching methods improvement. This artical finds that flipped classroom of cell biology is helpful for students to foster a spirit of independent exploration, and promotes the ability of keeping pace with the information trend under the background of Internet Plus. Therefore, the reform and innovations of cell biology course are very significant for students’ all-round and harmonious development, which can improve students’ comprehensive quality and the quality of higher education.
