支持教师使用MOOClets与研究人员合作
Supporting Instructors in Collaborating with Researchers using MOOClets
摘要：
大多数教育和工作场所的学习都是在远离实验室或实地的教室里进行的，有专门的科学研究安排。但是数字在线资源为大规模努力提供了一个新的机会，可以在现实世界和实验室环境之间建立桥梁，支持数据汇集和随机A/B实验，比较不同版本的内容或交互[2]。然而，在调整教师和研究人员使用混合课程/练习和MOOC等学习技术作为学生服务和进行研究的现实背景方面存在重大的技术和实践障碍。本文解释了MOOClet的概念如何促进研究与实践者的合作。MOOClets [3]被定义为数字资源的模块化组件，可以在技术中实现：（1）允许修改以创建多个版本，（2）允许不同版本的实验比较和个性化，（3）可靠地指定收集的数据。我们提出了一个框架，在这个框架中，教师指定他们愿意采用的课程、练习和电子邮件的变化，以及他们将收集和提供的数据。然后，研究人员可以：（1）指定或设计实验，比较不同版本对可量化结果的影响。(2)通过根据可用的输入变量选择MOOClet的替代版本，探索最大化特定结果的算法。我们提出了一个原型的调查工具，旨在促进从业者研究人员的匹配和成功的合作教师。
英文摘要：
Most education and workplace learning takes place in classroom contexts far removed from laboratories or field sites with special arrangements for scientific research. But digital online resources provide a novel opportunity for large scale efforts to bridge the real world and laboratory settings which support data collection and randomized A/B experiments comparing different versions of content or interactions [2]. However, there are substantial technological and practical barriers in aligning instructors and researchers to use learning technologies like blended lessons/exercises & MOOCs as both a service for students and a realistic context to conduct research. This paper explains how the concept of a MOOClet can facilitate research-practitioner collaborations. MOOClets [3] are defined as modular components of a digital resource that can be implemented in technology to: (1) allow modification to create multiple versions, (2) allow experimental comparison and personalization of different versions, (3) reliably specify what data are collected. We suggest a framework in which instructors specify what kinds of changes to lessons, exercises, and emails they would be willing to adopt, and what data they will collect and make available. Researchers can then: (1) specify or design experiments that compare the effects of different versions on quantifiable outcomes. (2) Explore algorithms for maximizing particular outcomes by choosing alternative versions of a MOOClet based on the input variables available. We present a prototype survey tool for instructors intended to facilitate practitioner researcher matches and successful collaborations.
