Abstract

With the boom of knowledge economy, the global education is being confronted with a drastic revolution. MOOC, as a kind of special teaching resource on line, has been rapidly accepted by learners around the world, due to its abundance in database, equivalence in knowledge sharing and low-cost in maintainability and operation.[1, 2] This paper thus, taking the specialized course in English department of Wuhan University of Engineering Science, a private owned independent college as the case, managed to design a flipped teaching mode based upon MOOC, and conducted an experimental teaching for a whole semester, together with three tests (pre-test to determine the feasibility of data comparison, mid-test to inspect the process, and final test to illustrate the feasibility of MOOC teaching in independent colleges) to testify the feasibility and significance of MOOC operation for local and especially private owned colleges, which is probably an effective and efficient solution to survive the competition for educational resources.
