The argument in this paper is based on the view that, even though traditional classroom teaching and lecturing are likely to remain the norm, there is a recognized and growing place for the use of technology in educational provision in schools and universities. Online course design is still very much open to discussion, since traditions of delivery have yet to develop. But new software developments are arriving so quickly, that educators have barely time to experiment with one mode of delivery before they are overtaken by another.DOI:10.1080/0968776000080208

The traditional teaching mode focuses on teachers’ instructions. However, this approach provides few opportunities for teacher–student interaction and single teaching form and lacks training on the independent learning ability of students. By contrast, massive open online course (MOOC) teaching mode completely depends on independent student learning and lacks effective monitoring. Thus, this approach results in low completion rate of courses and failure to completely replace the traditional classroom teaching model. This study constructed a teaching mode called small private online course (SPOC) by combining MOOC and traditional teaching modes to increase teaching effect. The specific application process of SPOC teaching mode was elaborated using a case study of “College English.” The study showed that SPOC teaching mode has more extensive teaching content, stronger learning interest of students, and better teacher–student interaction than the traditional teaching mode. Moreover, the SPOC teaching mode improved the independent learning ability of students, addressed the shortcomings of traditional classroom teaching, and facilitated the deep applications of information technology in classroom teaching. Thus, the present teaching mode is perfected.

With the rapid development of information technology, various online courses have sprung up and SPOC (Small Private Online Course) is one of them. In the meantime, Chinese colleges are in the process of transformation from traditional classroom teaching to web-assisted teaching, which demands for a corresponding adjustment of teaching techniques used to guide teaching practice. Therefore, after a deep investigation into the attitude of some students and teachers, based on the results of questionnaires and interviews, this paper proposes several strategies for SPOC assisted college oral EFL teaching, aiming to guide teachers to use online courses effectively and as a result, improve the quality of EFL teaching.

Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary states that education involves learning and then defines learning as the acquisition of knowledge or understanding through study, instruction, or experience.1 This is the best and broadest definition of the term I know of and the one that most closely informs what I do in my work as director of the Cushing Memorial Library and Archives at Texas A&M University. I consider any activity that provides opportunities for study or experience as education. In a special collections environment, this includes traditional classroom teaching as well as many other undertakings—exhibits, displays, guided and self-guided tours, . . .

One of the dilemmas faced by today’s faculty is assuring quality in online courses. As one solution to that dilemma, Quality Matters (QM), a program of MarylandOnline, built a rubric of design standards informed by existing research literature and best practices. The rubric was implemented within a faculty-centred, peer review process in which colleagues share their expertise to facilitate course design improvements and to achieve an established level of quality in online course design. This article will describe the basic tenets and processes of QM as an inter-institutional quality assurance program for online learning.
