Shanghai Jiao Tong and Fudan universities signed cooperation agreements with Coursera to offer courses online in both Mandarin and English. About 2.7 million people worldwide have signed up for these massive, open online courses, known as MOOCs. “The online courses will enable students around the globe to learn whatever they are interested in and receive world-class education anytime and anywhere,” said Huang Zheng, Vice President of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Huang said this new way of learning was the biggest revolution in education history since printing was invented. He said universities should accept and quickly adapt to this new concept and prepare for the future. Huang said online courses can help narrow the education quality gap between different regions as students can interact with world-class professors.
