Abstract:
Massive open online course (MOOC) is a new learning model, which integrates the progress of novel educational concepts and the breakthrough of information technology. MOOC uses new web-based tools and online-environments to deliver knowledge education and lecture classes in a new paradigm. In this paper, we firstly reviewed the achievements through four stages of the construction and development of online courses of physiology in China in the past 20 years. Then, taking the physiology MOOC at Central South University of China as an example, we introduced the specific practices and experiences to construct the online physiological open course, including the online open course-based offline and online flipped classroom teaching practice. Finally, we discussed several important issues during the construction and application of online open courses, aiming to provide practical information for other universities.
