MOOE: A new online education mode: Virtual simulation experiment MOOE platform for FPGA

This paper proposed a new kind of online education mode, MOOE (Massive Open Online Experiment). MOOE was produced based on the thoughts of the Internet thinking and the opening-and-sharing resources and was the organic combination of MOOC and experimental teaching. The main contributions were made: (1) Instructed MOOE's concept and characteristics. MOOE build a network laboratory with the advanced information technology to make experimenters complete all the experimental activities through the Internet without the limitation of time, space and resources. (2) Analyzed the similarities and differences between MOOE and MOOC. MOOE was the extension and expansion of MOOC, which realized the online learning of all the teaching activities including the theoretical courses and their related experiments. MOOE inherited the advantaged of MOOC, but paid more attention to the virtualization of experimental equipment, operations and contents. (3) Described the implement and application of MOOE by taking an experimental course titled “FPGA Based Multi-core Computing” as an example. The feasibility and advantage of MOOE were proved by the actual statistical data of the course.
