ECR: Strategic Integration of MOOCs into Graduate and Professional STEM Programs in 21st Century Research Universities

EHR核心研究劳动力发展伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校正在进行一项劳动力发展能力建设项目，旨在通过为强大的研究奠定基础，推动大规模开放式在线课程（MOOC）与21世纪研究型大学的研究生和专业STEM课程的战略整合。PI建议举办一个研讨会，通过严格的实验设计、数据收集和分析过程，探讨教学问题，例如与MOOC合并的翻转教室的有效性。研讨会将为思想领袖和包括雇主在内的主要利益攸关方提供一个平台，讨论如何将这些新兴的教育门户和平台纳入现有的大学结构。他们将讨论研讨会的结果，并确定有关技术，教学法，广泛实施和研究生教育的具体影响的研究问题。

EHR Core ResearchWorkforce DevelopmentThe University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is conducting a workforce development capacity building project that is designed to advance the strategic integration of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) into graduate and professional STEM programs in 21st century research universities by setting the stage for robust research studies. The PI proposes to conduct a workshop to explore pedagogical issues such as the effectiveness of flipped classrooms merged with MOOCs through a rigorous experimental design, data collection, and analysis process. The workshop will provide a platform for thought leaders and key stakeholders, including employers, to discuss paths for incorporating these emerging educational portals and platforms into the existing fabric of universities. They will discuss the findings of the workshop and identify research questions about technology, pedagogy, widespread implementation, and specific implications for graduate education.
