回顾2013年，有一个主题主导了管理教育的讨论，这是以前从未有过的。当然，这个主题就是MOOC，或者给它一个完整的名字，Massive Open Online Courses。在过去的12个月里，MOOC的到来就像一场外星人入侵，威胁要颠覆几个世纪的教育传统。就像《火星袭击》里的场景一样！有支持者挥舞着“欢迎来到地球”的横幅，还有人在排队坦克。然而，尽管走廊里和会议上的声音不和谐，MOOC有一个奇怪的特点：学术期刊上一直保持沉默。这仅仅是因为数据是稀缺的，只是刚刚变得可用，以及思考，写作，审查和生产所需的必要时间。明年，甚至可能是几年后，MOOC很可能会占据教育期刊的版面，尤其是《管理教育杂志》。在这篇社论中，我想探讨MOOC最初的炒作和夸张，作为为未来做准备的一种方式。
Looking back over the year that was 2013, one subject dominated management education discussion like no other topic has ever done so before. That subject, of course, is the MOOC, or to give it its full name, Massive Open Online Courses. Over the past 12 months, MOOCs have arrived like an alien invasion threatening to overturn centuries of tradition in education. And just like a scene from Mars Attacks! there are supporters waving “Welcome to Earth” banners while others are lining up the tanks. Yet there is one strange feature of MOOCs, despite the cacophony in the corridors and at conferences; there has been silence in the academic journals. This is simply because data are scarce and only just becoming available, and the necessary time required for thinking, writing, reviewing, and production. Next year, and probably for several years after, MOOCs are likely to dominate the pages of education journals and the Journal of Management Education in particular. In this editorial, I want to explore the initial hype and hyperbole about MOOCs as a way of setting the scene for the future.
