Two University of Texas at Austin professors this week launched their introductory psychology class from a makeshift studio, with a goal of eventually enrolling 10,000 students at $550 a pop and bringing home millions for the school. 这周，美国德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的两位教授推出了他们在临时摄影棚中拍摄的心理学入门课程。他们的最终目标是招收1万名学生，并向他们每人收取550美元的学费，以此为学校创收数百万美元。 The professors have dubbed the class a SMOC—Synchronous Massive Online Class—and their effort falls somewhere between a MOOC, or Massive Open Online Course, a late-night television show and a real-time research experiment. The professors lecture into a camera and students watch on their computers or mobile devices, in real time. 两位教授将这种课程命名为“同步大规模网络课程”，课程建设将结合“大型开放式网络课程”模式、夜间电视节目和实时研究实验的模式。工作人员用摄像机拍摄两位教授的课程，学生们就在电脑或移动设备上实时观看。 |
