Abstract

MOOCs refer to Massive Online Open Courses. Based on online distance education and open education, MOOCs are a gradual integration product of the Internet and education, which receives great support and guidance from China's national policies. In 2013, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Peking University, and other prestigious universities began to introduce MOOCs into China, arousing general concern in the government and among educational and Internet communities. Nowadays, MOOCs are a hot topic in China. What is the research and application status of MOOCs in China? What are the influences of MOOCs on China's education? What are the development prospects of MOOCs in China? This chapter introduces the development background and process of MOOCs in China. Then, it attempts to explore the characteristics and the status of Chinese MOOCs, and the challenges that Chinese MOOC faces. At the end of this chapter, the future prospects of MOOCs in China are discussed.
