KOOC Provides New Insights on Open Online Courses
KAIST’s free open online courses with innovative education modules are gaining a great deal of public attention. To reflect the increasing demand, KAIST will expand the number of courses offered via the KAIST Massive Open Online Course (KOOC) system from the five courses currently available to 12 courses from April 17. More courses will reportedly be offered in the second semester.
According to KOOC service team, more than 15,000 people enrolled in KOOCs since its opening last May. They said the ever increasing number of enrollment reflects the wide public interest to experience the high standard of the curriculum taught by KAIST faculty. The service team reported that they felt the need to diversify the curriculum in response to increasing enrollment. The new courses will span from the introduction to chemical engineering, to game theory, to writing research papers.
They also said that KAIST’s innovative education modules focusing on self-driven learning have drawn wide attention from the public. In the KOOCs, enrolled students can proactively engage in online Q&A discussions with professors. Currently, the KOOCs are only run in Korean, but the Introduction to Data Structure and Algorithms will be run in English with Korean subtitles.
The subjects of 2017 KOOCs are as follow:
-Introduction to Operations Research
-Light, Color, and Life
-Introduction to Chemical Engineering
-Introduction to the Application of AI/DM Technology I & II
-How to Write Research Papers
-Game Theory
-Optimization Techniques for Computer Vision
-Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms I & II
-Sensor Engineering-Principles of Sensing Technology and Sensor Design
