High school seniors (HSSs) in Taiwan have encountered several college admission related problems such as uncertainty about the characteristics and learning in college departments, the high cost of the admission application process, the spare time between the General Scholastic Ability Test (GSAT) and commencement of university study, and unpreparedness for university study. However, both traditional and newly proposed solutions have shortcomings. To find a better solution, this study draws insight from the trend of MOOCs and investigates the features of MOOCs based on relevant literature to evaluate the feasibilities of MOOCs as a new solution. To verify these feasibilities, I put forward some concerning perspectives and examine them critically. The research finds reasons why MOOCs offer a better solution and infers some practical ways for HSSs to experience college learning via MOOCs: Browsing MOOCs and finding courses of interest, learning from the selected courses, thinking reflectively on one’s own learning and adapting learning in high school, as well as creating online learning profiles for personal application and further learning. |
