Nowadays, the rapid development of educational technology can enrich distance learning in many ways. MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) constitute a recent and widely recognized mode of learning in distance education, first introduced in 2008. MOOCs have the potential to be transformed into a powerful tool that can strengthen learners’ engagement to online courses through open access to information and real knowledge. Also, web-based digital tools such as Kahoot, Google Docs (Google Documents), TitanPad and Etherpad are edtech tools that let a group of people come together to create and edit documents. These tools allow learners and instructors to ask questions, group them, write a text together and collaborate in real time. This paper aims to synthesize research and findings on the content of MOOCs utilization in the educational process and to contribute to a better scientific understanding of MOOCs and other edtech tools such as Kahoot, Google Documents, TitanPad and Etherpad, as they can be used in real conditions to improve educational technology.
如今,教育技术的快速发展可以在许多方面丰富远程学习。大规模在线开放课程(Massive Open Online Courses,简称MOOCs)是一种最新的、被广泛认可的远程教育学习模式,于2008年首次推出。mooc有潜力转变为一种强大的工具,通过开放获取信息和真实知识,加强学习者对在线课程的参与。此外,基于网络的数字工具,如Kahoot, Google Docs (Google文档),TitanPad和Etherpad都是教育技术工具,可以让一群人聚集在一起创建和编辑文档。这些工具允许学习者和教师提问、分组、共同撰写文本并实时协作。本文旨在综合mooc在教育过程中利用内容的研究成果,有助于更好地科学理解mooc和其他教育技术工具,如Kahoot、Google Documents、TitanPad和Etherpad,因为它们可以在实际情况中使用,以提高教育技术。
