5. Practical Exploration and Experience of the OUC MOOCs
The Open University of China (the OUC for short, aka China Central Radio and TV University, CCRTVU for short), as a new type of university, has the special mission of higher education, especially in promoting lifelong learning for all and building a learning society. The OUC is not only paying attention to MOOCs, but also taking an active part in making MOOCs more rational, scientific, and stable. The OUC has not only the willingness to take this on, but also the experience and resources. It can build platforms, gather and construct massive online courses, and ensure their quality. It can build credit banks for learning outcomes and credit transfer, and expand the channel by which learners can enjoy lifelong learning. In this way, the OUC brings into play its educational and social mission and functions as a new type of university, energetically giving impetus to the modernization, internationalization, and popularization of education and higher education in China to ensure its high quality.

A quick Internet check of the OUC’s achievements in distance education will show that the OUC has been working unswervingly, from the launch of earliest E-Learning Hub to the establishment of Digital Learning Resources Centre, from the resource integration of the MOE Research and Development Centre for Digital Learning to the practical exploration，from the construction of online platform to the exploration of resource integration and sharing.
The OUC is making positive progress in its “mini-MOOC” (5 minutes) and making reforms in the teaching designs of the lectures. The lectures are divided into relatively independent but interrelated learning modules in order to shorten the relative learning cycle.

OUC is also strengthening learning support services. Seen from the learning platform perspective, Coursera's experience can be used to upgrade the data collection and analysis ability of learning platforms; the existing learner support system can be improved to change the “one teacher to many students” system to one better matching the many-to-many model where key questions are answered by the teacher, and general questions are answered by the online learning community; realizing diversified assessment models and putting into operation multiple assessment models of mutual-evaluation and self-evaluation; providing individualized learning instruction by the autonomous push of learning materials according to the students’ preferences.

OUC is also enhancing online learning assessment and intensifying intelligent agent technology. The OUC shall intensify the effective application of such relevant ICT and enhance the analysis, comparison, and tracking of individual features of the online learner.
