As the MOOC craze continues to explode, anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question:
Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.
(1)What is your learning style?
Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in
group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course, think about how you enjoy learning.
Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work
well for you. If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing, try a text-based
course with lots of note-taking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based
assessment.
(2)Are you ready to become a full-time student?
Be realistic about the time that you can commit to your online studies. Participating in an online course can
take as much time and commitment as a class-based program. Check the course requirements and make a plan
around your current schedule.
(3) Does the course really meet your needs?
Whether you are interested in a professional qualification or want to take a personal development course like
yoga, there is a MOOC for you. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of taking lots of free courses in
everything that you ever wanted to learn. Before you start a course, think about the end goal. Is the course aimed
at beginners or advanced learners? Why do you need this qualification?
(4) Do you need a support group?
Some people learn best from seeing how others approach the problem. If you are such as learner, you will
need to supplement your online lessons with an in-person support group.
(5) What kind of certification will you get?
Take time to find out what kind of certification is available upon completion of the course, and how you can
prove your learning to others - for example, certificates, transcripts or digital badges. 1. What kind of MOOC's does the author recommend to verbal learners?
A. A video-based course. B. A text-based course.
C. A forum-based discussion. D. A project-based assessment.
2. What kind of learners need an in-person support group?
A. Learners who prefer individual work.
B. Learners who are in great need of a certificate.
C. Learners who are too busy to become a full-time student.
D. Learners who learn best from observing how others address the problem.
3. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Picking the right MOOC's for you. B. Deciding your learning style.
C. Taking the right course you need. D. Choosing a suitable support group.
B
There is an old army joke about an officer who asks some soldiers whether any of them are interested in
music. When four hands go up, the officer says, “Right, men. You can carry this grand piano down to the officers
mess.”
Job recruitment has become more complicated since that story first did the rounds. Today's careers require a
lot more than just raw music but that sometimes makes jobs hard to define. An unfortunate result is a form of
“adjective inflation” in recruitment ads as employers attempt to make routine tasks sound exciting.
Candidates must sometimes wonder whether they are applying for a 9-to-5-role or to become a member of
the Marvel “Avengers”. On Indeed, a job-bunting website, a bar was recently looking for "bartenders who are
people focused, quality-driven, and have superhero hospitality powers". The ability to give customers the correct
change was not mentioned.
Another British company advertised for “a call-centre ninja, a superhero in people", a Job description which
sounds a little over-the top for what was in fact a role at an insurance company in Isleworth. In case you think that
ad was not typical. Indeed also had jobs demanding “ninja-like attention to detail". Short of turning up for the
interview dressed head-to-toe in black, and then sneaking up behind the managing director at his desk, it is hard
to see how candidates could show their ninja qualities.
Not all companies require candidates to possess the qualities of a ninja, of course. Some require applicants to
be passionate. The Bluewater shopping mall in southeastEnglandwas looking for “passionate sales-driven brand
ambassadors” while “passionate crew members” were needed at a bakery in westLondonfor a wage of just £8. 23
