Our university was selected as one of the Korean online extended education participant along with 10 universities such as Sejong University and Sungshin Women's University from the result of 2016 K-MOOC university and development course selection that was announced by the Ministry of Education and National Institute for Lifelong Education on May 4.
K-MOOC is a Korean version of MOOC, which is a large online extended education platform that is being expanded all over the world. The Ministry of Education designated 10 universities such as Seoul National University as participants of K-MOOC project for the first time last year as an effort to make outstanding university lectures available to the general public through the Internet. This year, university participation was expanded and courses were increased to 100 with the aim to activate K-MOOC services.
Our university was selected for the 2016 project by putting forward our diverse e-Learning contents development experience, knowhow on supporting teaching methods, and expert human resources. Accordingly, 2 subjects (“Understanding of Law through Culture and Films” by Hong Seong-su, Division of Law professor, and “Psychology of Criminal Behavior” by Park Ji-seon Department of Social Psychology professor) will be developed and planned to be serviced from September, and through the development of a total of 10 courses within the next 3 years, they are planned to be utilized in various ways such as integration with regular courses of undergraduate studies.
The officials at the Center for Teaching and Learning announced, “We will establish a reliable contents development environment through expanding campus infrastructure such as video production studio facility, etc., required for K-MOOC contents development” and “we plan to induce active participation from students by operating a MOOC Knowledge Leader to improve contents quality.”
