SPOC (Small Private Online Course) has been widely used in higher education all over the world for its ease of access due to advanced information technology. Pursuing a successful future career, students in higher education need to develop their creativity and professional knowledge. Therefore, higher education should focus on the cultivation of creativity and professional knowledge through SPOC. This study aimed to establish a “SPOC Teaching Mode” for fostering students’ creativity, by integrating online resources with classroom activities in order to develop a creative and professional education. The application of the mode is expected to stimulate students’ engagements in autonomous learning activities, by practicing problemfinding and problem-solving skills, furthermore, facilitate students’ professional knowledge learning as well as enhance their creativity in the professional field. Finally, a survey questionnaire was distributed to the participants in order to evaluate their views about the SPOC teaching mode.

Taking alleviating extreme poverty as the top priority, the World Bank has conducted many projects in achieving this goal, such as increasing health, promoting educational access for girls, and so on (World Bank, 2018). All these projects that invest in human capital work to boost the economy and reduce poverty. However, a close look at the World Bank projects revealed that that ethics education is missing in these projects. Even though the Bank has its own Ethics Department guiding the behaviors of its employees, the projects it conducted in countries in poverty does not involve ethics education, an essential element in poverty alleviation. Other than explaining why extreme poverty exists and why certain groups of people keep returning to the poverty stage while receiving support from the government, this article takes China as an example based on scholarly publications to explain why ethics education is necessary in the World Bank poverty alleviation projects. Based on the literature review, this article argues that it is crucial to offer opportunities for those who do not have access to discover alternative lifestyles due to limited resources and low socioeconomic status and to facilitate people to determine a life goal in order to eliminate extreme poverty effectively.
世界银行将减轻极端贫困作为首要任务,开展了许多项目来实现这一目标,例如增加健康,促进女童受教育机会等(World Bank, 2018)。所有这些投资于人力资本的项目都有助于促进经济和减少贫困。然而,仔细观察世界银行的项目就会发现,这些项目中缺乏道德教育。尽管世界银行有自己的道德部门指导员工的行为,但世行在贫困国家开展的项目并不涉及道德教育,而道德教育是减贫的基本要素。除了解释为什么极端贫困存在,为什么某些群体在得到政府支持的情况下不断回到贫困阶段之外,本文还以学术出版物为基础,以中国为例,解释为什么道德教育在世界银行扶贫项目中是必要的。在文献综述的基础上,本文认为,为那些由于资源有限和社会经济地位低下而无法发现替代生活方式的人提供机会,帮助人们确定生活目标,以有效消除极端贫困是至关重要的。

In 2012, the New York Times proclaimed it was the year of the MOOC. By 2015, most academics in higher education in the United States and Europe were saying MOOCs are dead. During this presentation, I will present an overview of MOOCs from 2012 through 2019. I will walk through different product developments with a variety of MOOC platforms from free open educational resources (OER) courses to full online degree programs from elite universities. I will also walk through data illustrating which are the primary MOOC providers and geographic trends for what different regions are doing with MOOCs. This includes degrees in North America, partnerships across institutions for content in Latin America, credentialed courses that can be used for credit in any European institution and popularity of MOOCs in Asia. Participants will walk away from this session with a thorough understand of trends, products, and history of MOOCs globally from 2012 to the present.
